Carolina Herrera Shoes: Slingbacks, Kitten Heels and Cowboy Boots

Carolina Herrera shoes are built around the pointed-toe slingback, cut in satin, patent and calf leather and offered as pumps, kitten heels and flats. Around that core the house adds patent pumps, tall lace-up boots, strappy sandals, kitten heel mules and a limited cowboy boot capsule with Miron Crosby, priced at Luxury Handbags from $1,450 to $5,510.

Below is the full edit of 19 pairs, what each heel does, how the house sizes its shoes and what to wear with each style. Browse them alongside the wider designer shoes edit, and see the house itself on our Carolina Herrera brand page.

What are Carolina Herrera shoes known for?

The slingback is the signature. Most of the heeled pairs are slingbacks, and many share the same pointed toe and spool heel, so the line reads as one family across satin, patent and embroidery.

That consistency suits a house whose name rests on eveningwear and gowns, and on the crisp white shirt worn with a full skirt, the founder’s own uniform. A narrow, pointed slingback sits neatly under both. It shows a little foot and keeps the line long without competing with a big skirt. Bows and botanical motifs, two more house signatures, turn up on the shoes too.

Which Carolina Herrera heels and pumps should you know?

Start with the satin slingback family, then look at patent and leather. The satin pairs are all made in Spain from a viscose and silk satin, and they come in three heights.

The satin slingback family

The Satin Slingback Pumps in Violeta are the tallest of the satin group, on a spool heel, at $1,640. The Satin Slingback Kitten Heels in Black take the same shape down to a kitten height, also on a spool heel, at $1,510. For a flat, the Satin Slingback Flats in Herrera Red keep the pointed toe and slingback strap at $1,450.

Tassels are the playful variation. The Satin Slingback Pumps with Tassels in Black are $1,690, and the Satin Slingback Flats with Tassels in Black are $1,510. Fall 2026 adds the Silk Faille Bow Slingback Pumps in Black, with a dimensional bow, spool heels and a leather lining, at $1,510.

Patent and leather pumps

For a harder shine, the Cylinder-Heel Patent Leather Pumps in Racing Green swap the spool for a grooved cylinder heel, the most graphic shape in the edit, at $1,640. The Leather Slingback Pumps in Black are made in Spain from calf leather on a spool heel, at $1,770. Kitten heels come in patent too: the Patent Leather Slingback Kitten Heels in Rosewater at $1,510, and the Gold Patent Leather Slingback Heels at $1,450.

The Floral-Embroidered Slingback Pumps, at $1,770, are the evening statement. They are hand-embroidered with sequins, beads, resin flowers and acrylic floral accents, and the house says they were inspired by the art of Amy Sherald, which fits a Fall 2026 runway that paid homage to women artists.

Does Carolina Herrera make boots?

Yes, in two very different moods. There is a tall lace-up boot for city dressing, and a western capsule made with Miron Crosby.

The Spazzolato Leather Tall Lace-Up Boots in Black are cut from polished spazzolato leather with a leather strap, a metallic buckle and a cap toe. They close with a side zip and sit on a leather insole and rubber sole. The price is $2,940.

The Carolina Herrera x Miron Crosby boots are a limited capsule. They are made from kidskin, hand-lasted in Mexico, with a 17-inch shaft. The Carolina Herrera x Miron Crosby Whitney Cowboy Boots are inlaid with abstract tulip and rose motifs on a quilted grid, at $5,510. The Carolina Herrera x Miron Crosby Georgia Cowboy Boots in Gold are $4,390. See every style in our designer boots edit.

Are there Carolina Herrera sandals and mules?

Yes. The Strappy Leather Sandals in Black are cut from supple cow leather on a spool heel, at $1,520, and the Strappy Pumps in Metallic Patent Leather, Gold are $1,640.

Two kitten heel mules complete the edit. The Satin Kitten Heel Mule in Black is made in Spain from fine satin, with a pointed toe and curved lines, at $1,510. The Embellished Kitten Heel Mule, from Spring 2025, is $1,640.

How do Carolina Herrera shoes fit?

Carolina Herrera sizes its shoes on its own house scale, from 6 to 12, which converts directly to EU 35 to 41. The house shoe pages carry no sizing note, so start from your usual EU size.

Foot length runs from 22.5 cm at size 6 to 26.5 cm at size 12. Measure your foot from heel to longest toe in the evening, when feet are at their largest, and compare it with the chart. A pointed toe needs room in front of the toes, so if you sit between two sizes in a slingback, the larger one is the safer choice. The full clothing and shoe conversions are in our Carolina Herrera size guide.

What should you wear with each style?

Let the hem decide. A slingback is about the line of the foot and ankle, so keep the hem where the shoe stays in view.

• Satin pumps and kitten heels. They carry a gala gown and a cocktail dress with equal ease, and a midi dress with bare legs suits summer events. Browse our designer dresses to match.
• Slingback flats. They sharpen tailored trousers and a crisp white shirt, the most Herrera outfit there is.
• Patent pumps. A full skirt and a fitted knit suit the proportion well. Try one of our designer skirts.
• Lace-up boots. Wear them under a midi hem in the colder months, so the boot and skirt meet.
• Cowboy boots. Keep the rest simple and let the inlay carry the look.
• Sandals and mules. Keep the hem just above the ankle, so the straps and the curve of the mule stay visible.
