Slingback heels bring a refined edge to smart-casual dressing, pairing an open silhouette with the security of a slender ankle strap. For a lower profile through the day, the Block Heels range offers a similar ease underfoot. This edit spans black slingback heels through to softer neutral leathers, suited to both occasion wear and everyday styling.




For decades, Midas has been crafting footwear with a European sensibility, and this slingback collection carries that same attention to detail. Many pairs are made from genuine leather or suede, chosen for how it moves with the foot and softens with wear over time. The slingback silhouette suits women who want a shoe that feels considered rather than fleeting, moving easily from a desk setting into an evening without a change of shoes. Heel heights range from a gentle lift to a more elevated block, so there is room to choose according to comfort and occasion, while colours run from classic black through to warmer neutral tones. It's an easy style to wear often, not only for special occasions.

Black slingback heels remain one of the most versatile pieces in the collection, working equally well with tailored trousers for a work event or a fitted dress for an evening function. A low to mid heel keeps them practical for long days, while the slingback strap gives a cleaner line than a fully open style. For those wanting extra height for a formal occasion, the Platforms edit offers a taller alternative in a similar leather finish, worth considering alongside this collection. Suede options bring a softer, textural finish suited to cooler-weather occasion dressing, while smooth leather styles read a little more polished for daytime wear. Either way, the emphasis stays on quality materials that hold their shape through regular wear.
