Paris Texas Lidia Slingbacks and Pumps: 105 mm and 70 mm, Every Material, Ranked

The slingback is the Lidia for people who need the shoe to stay on. Same long pointed toe, same slim covered stiletto, a strap at the heel, and the leather insole with the name embossed. Paris Texas makes it at 105 mm and 70 mm, as a closed pump, an ankle-strap pump and a slingback sandal, and Luxury Handbags carries 45 Lidia slingbacks and pumps at $1,240 to $1,500. This guide sorts the closed Lidia styles by height, material and use, and ranks the pairs to buy.

Key facts

  • Luxury Handbags carries 25 Lidia slingbacks at 105 mm and 13 at 70 mm, plus the pumps, ankle-strap pumps and the Vera pump.
  • Prices: slingbacks $1,240 to $1,500; pumps $1,290 to $1,380; the brand lists the patent slingback at EUR 645.
  • The slingback strap sits at the heel; the pumps and ankle-strap pumps are the closed versions.
  • Materials: patent calf, calf suede, velvet with a crystal buckle, python-print calf, tortoise printed patent, satin.
  • The brand states the fit as true to size; the fitting-room advice is to round a half size up for the toe.

Slingback, pump and ankle strap

The Lidia slingback is the office shoe in the range: it stays on where the mule would slip, the strap gives a little security on stairs, and it wears with a slim trouser that stops at the ankle. The Lidia pump is the closed version, the same last with a full heel counter, for a dress code that wants a court shoe. The ankle-strap pump adds a thin strap across the ankle and is the most secure of the three at 105 mm. The Vera pump is the same idea on the Vera last, with a slightly rounder point.

105 mm versus 70 mm

At 105 mm the slingback is an evening shoe that a strap makes wearable; at 70 mm it is a day shoe that a point makes sharp. The 70 mm slingback is the pair to buy for the office and the 105 for the dinner after it. The brand prices the two the same in each material. The comfort guide explains why a 70 mm stiletto walks like a 60 mm block.

The materials and colours

Patent is the core. Rouge Noir is the colour to buy after black, Taupe and Avorio are the nudes, Texas Rose the house pink and Mustard the surprise. Suede, on the black suede 70, is the softest daytime version. The velvet slingback with the crystal buckle is the black-tie pair, and the tortoise printed patent is the one nobody else has. The white and ivory guide covers the Optic White versions for weddings.

Fit and care

True to size, round a half size up for the toe; the strap holds the heel. Patent wants a damp cloth and no heat, suede a brush and a spray, velvet a soft clothes brush. Store each pair in its dust bag. The size guide and the care guide have the detail.

“Fits true to size”, the brand prints on nearly every product page, and on 100 of them “Model is 175 cm / 5,74 ft tall and wears a size 37 European sizes”. The fits-true-to-size line appears on 336 of the 350 product pages Luxury Handbags saved on 16 September 2026, and “European sizes” on 349; the brand publishes no other sizing advice, and its size guide gives EU 37 as US 7 and UK 4.
