Gold and Silver Paris Texas Shoes: The Mirrored Lidia Mules, Slingbacks and Sandals, Ranked

The mirrored Lidia is the shoe Paris Texas sells at party season and the one that does the work of jewellery: a slim pointed mule, slingback and sandal in gold and silver mirror leather, with the Lidia heel galvanised to match. Luxury Handbags carries 12 metallic Paris Texas styles at $1,240 to $1,650. This guide covers gold versus silver, the PVC version, the sandals and the one sunset-mirror outlier, and says how to wear them without looking like a Christmas decoration.

Key facts

  • 12 metallic styles at Luxury Shoes , $1,240 to $1,650: the Lidia mule at 105 and 70 mm, the slingback, the slingback sandal and the T-strap sandal in gold and silver mirror leather, plus the Nina sandal in wine sunset mirror.
  • The heel on the mirrored Lidia is galvanised metal to match the upper rather than covered in leather; the sole is leather, lacquered in Texas Rose.
  • Mirrored leather costs about $90 more than patent in each shape: the mules are $1,240 against $1,150 for black patent.
  • One silver Lidia mule pairs mirror leather with a clear PVC strap for a barely-there front; the rest are full mirror leather.
  • Mirror leather scratches; store each pair in its own dust bag and never let it touch another shoe.

Gold versus silver

Choose by your jewellery. Gold mirror, on the Lidia 105 mule, the 70, the slingback and the T-strap sandal, is warm and reads as a nude with a shine, so it goes with camel, cream, black and every warm skin tone. Silver mirror, on the Lidia 105 mule, the 70, the slingback, the slingback sandal and the T-strap sandal, is cool and reads as a colour, so it wants black, white, navy and grey. The silver mule with the PVC strap is the lightest of them, most of the front disappearing against the foot. The Nina sandal in wine sunset mirror is the outlier, a gradient wedge in a wine-to-orange mirror for a red-carpet evening.

How to wear a mirrored shoe

One metallic at a time. A gold mule with a black slip dress and no other shine is the whole outfit; a gold mule with a sequinned dress is a costume. In daylight, the 70 mm mirror with a plain white shirt and a straight jean reads as modern rather than festive. Keep the jewellery in the same metal and keep it small. The styling guide has more, and the Lidia mule guide covers the shape in every finish.

105 mm versus 70 mm in mirror

The mirror finish makes the height choice easier than it is in patent. At 105 mm the shoe is an evening object and the shine is the point; at 70 mm the same mule with a white shirt, a straight jean and a trench reads as a daytime shoe that happens to catch the light, and it is the pair that gets worn more often. Both mules are $1,240, so the decision is about use. If the metallic is a once-a-season shoe, buy the 105; if it is a Thursday shoe, buy the 70. The comfort guide ranks the heights.

Care

Mirror leather is a foil finish over calf and it marks if anything hard drags across it, so it lives in its dust bag and travels wrapped. Wipe it with a dry, soft cloth; never a damp one, which can cloud the finish, and never a solvent. Heel tips are replaceable at a cobbler. The care guide has the rest.
