How to Protect and Maintain Your Shoes in Autumn?

Before reaching your feet, Himba shoes go through numerous stages. Nothing is left to chance, and each phase is essential. Our designs are conceived several seasons in advance, undergoing a rigorous prototyping process in our workshops. Each pair is carefully studied, developed, and perfected, ensuring that only exceptional shoes leave our production. Naturally, our bags benefit from the same meticulous attention to detail. Reflective materials At Himba, we want our shoes and bags to last! The durability of our materials is crucial. We place as much importance on aesthetics as on quality. Our designs combine robustness, elegance, and originality. That's why we rely on leather, a noble and resistant material that ensures optimal support and unparalleled comfort. As for our fabrics, sourced from markets or thrift stores, they add that little something extra that makes all the difference. Whether it's Wax, Bogolan, Batik, Java, or even upholstery fabrics, each one is carefully selected. Made from 100% cotton, sometimes woven and hand-painted, these fabrics are treated and reinforced to guarantee exceptional durability. They then beautifully adorn our Himba shoes and bags. Styling down to the smallest detail Style is more than just appearance; it's a science of detail. Each design is carefully considered. Which fabric to choose? Which leather to favor? Which stitching to use to enhance the overall effect? ​​We opt for this precise topstitching. And what about the colors? Harmony is the result of meticulous work, because nothing is left to chance. Everything is designed for style, so that each piece is impeccable!

Only a select few can boast of walking all day long perched on dizzyingly high heels . In reality, who hasn't ended up barefoot? Many women think about leaving their homes with a pair of ballet flats in their bag, just in case. At Himba , we have found the solution so that you can wear heels for hours without suffering, regardless of their size. How to be comfortable in heels? Which heels for which body type? You might be thinking, "My feet will hurt, I'm used to wearing flats," or "I don't know how to walk in heels," or even "Heels don't suit me." Rest assured! There's definitely a pair of Himba shoes made just for you. Women's magazines recommend starting with low heels if you're not used to them, favoring block heels for taller women, and stating that all heel heights suit shorter women. They also suggest stiletto heels for curvier figures and wedge heels for athletic builds. So how do you choose when you find yourself in several of these categories at once? At Himba, we believe that choosing heeled shoes depends first and foremost on the style you want to achieve.
