Where to buy shoes for spring: 8 Russian brands that you will fall in love with at the first step

At the end of February, we were interested in Russian clothing brands. After the initial disturbing news, we’ve rounded up 22 great local brands in one article, so you can put together and dilute your perfect basic wardrobe with accent pieces. They also told you where to dress your boyfriend.

Now it’s time to choose shoes for spring. We’ll be wearing the over-the-knee boots, flats and Mary Jane shoes this season that literally captured the catwalks and hearts of street style heroes last Fashion Week.

Now the question arises, where can I find all this? We’ve selected eight cool local brands that have chunky loafers, glass-heeled sandals (in the style of Amina Muaddi) and even sneakers (with a very cool story) in their collections.

“Two Balls”

A cult Russian brand filled with Soviet aesthetics. At one time, these sneakers were used by Yuri Gagarin, Yegor Letov, Viktor Tsoi, basketball player Sergei Belov and even “Well, wait!” Worn by Kurt. In 2016, the brand made a big comeback. So you can now buy the legendary models that were once the idol of millions. By the way, they cost about 5 thousand rubles.

Lalou

The same brand that will replace all (or almost all) brands that have exited the domestic market. We always follow Lalou innovations with special attention, because the collections feature the latest models. So, if you want shoes like Bella Hadid or Dua Lipa, you can safely look at Lalou. We’ve already looked at mules with square capes and shoes like the Bratz.

synthesia

Favorite brand of underground youth. Its feature is an incredible combination of versatility and non-trivial design that helps it stand out from the crowd. st. The founders of the St. Petersburg brand once said that Sintezia shoes were “a daring play of textures and colours.” The brand also sometimes collaborates with representatives of the art industry. For example, recently the site included several items created in collaboration with artist Nikita Zimov. On average, shoes cost about 10 thousand rubles.

DEA

Have you dreamed of sweaters for a long time? Then the Moscow brand Dea is what you need. The brand specializes in leather goods, so the quality is top notch. The collection includes many trendy options: classic black, suede, buckles and animal prints. Also on the site and in the gallery are huge loafers and excellent Chelsea boots for every day.

“Ekonika”

Probably the biggest brand in our selection. Great quality, trendy silhouettes and even collaborations. We fell in love with the capsule collection last year with Ushatava. But the main line is just as good. There you can find everything that is trending right now: from Mary Jane shoes to rough boots with large soles.

rosbalette

One of the features of this brand is a sloping heel of an unusual shape. Rosbalet is also famous for its bright colors and unusual elements. To be honest, we see Rihanna in one of the brand’s doubles. For example, in silver boats with transparent ends.

vanlim

If you are looking for basic shoes, you will definitely like the Vanlim collection. Perfect Irina Shayk-style lace-up boots, chunky loafers like Bella Hadid, or chunky heels like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley—all in the main. Although the assortment is small (there are just over 20 pairs in the collection), you will find everything you need.

TopTop

TopTop is not just a shoe brand unlike everything else in our selection. However, there is a wide selection. The site has around 300 items: from loafers to sandals to over-the-knee boots to Chelsea. We’ve already looked at small-heeled pink mules for spring. The average price of shoes in the TopTop collection is about 10 thousand rubles. By the way, special offers and discounts are often updated on the official website.
