The story

Why we picked it
I picked this pair for its archival weight - Vicini was the house that preceded the Giuseppe Zanotti name, making these a genuinely rare chapter in that design lineage. The square toe and 3.5-inch stiletto read as a signature of that late-90s shift toward bold, sculptural footwear, and the metallic gold finish holds up as a strong collector's reference point. The missing snake jewel embellishments are priced in, and for the right restorer or archivist, that absence is an invitation rather than a drawback.

These vintage Vicini heels bring a sleek, architectural look through their metallic gold finish and clean square toe silhouette. A delicate stiletto heel, standing approximately 3.5 inches, gives the shoe a sharp, elongated line that suits both eveningwear and elevated everyday styling.

The mule silhouette keeps the design simple and slip-on friendly, with strap detailing adding a bit of structure at the front. The metallic gold finish reads as bold and eye-catching on its own, offering a strong archival base for anyone interested in vintage designer footwear.

Sized EU 37, these correspond to a UK 4, US 7, and AU 6.5.
