MRTNZ, Souliers Martinez
Souliers Martinez is a Paris-based women's footwear brand founded in 2017 by designer Julien Martinez-Calmettes. Its signature is hand-woven leather, crafted by artisans with traditional know-how. Collections are designed in Paris, made in family-run workshops in Spain and Portugal from LWG Gold-certified leathers, and released in small, limited drops. The brand combines distinctive design with real comfort. Sold at leading department stores and luxury boutiques worldwide.
Who are Souliers Martinez shoes for?
Women aged 25 to 55 who appreciate quality craftsmanship and want designer shoes with a distinctive, contemporary style: hand-woven leather, supple nappa and signature platforms. Shoes comfortable enough for everyday urban life, for women who prefer limited-run pieces to mass-produced fashion.
What defines the Souliers Martinez style?
Refined, minimalist design with clean lines and sculptural shapes, given character by craft: hand-woven leather, distinctive lasts, jewel details and a signature red. Parisian elegance with a Mediterranean spirit. Understated luxury without logos, built around modern classics in black and a few statement pieces each season, from platform pumps and boots to Mary Janes and ballet flats. An independent designer label offering accessible luxury: handmade shoes with the quality of the major luxury houses, at a fairer price.
What are the key Souliers Martinez models?
The collection is built around three families:
- Platform line: Chueca boots, Casilda Mary Jane pumps and Malasaña pumps. The brand's signature platform gives 10 cm of height while staying stable.
- Ultra-soft line: sacchetto styles in supple nappa that fit like a glove, including the Flavia ankle boots (5 cm heel), the Sarria hybrid pump-ballerina (4–5 cm heel), the Mina ballerinas and the Flamenca ballerinas adorned with jewels, plus the best-selling Erika stretch thigh-high boots that hug the leg.
- Woven line: hand-woven leather styles including the Cuenca cane-woven pumps (an easy everyday heel), the best-selling Léa sandals, the Candice pumps and the fully woven Roberta and Utah knee-high boots.
Are Souliers Martinez shoes comfortable?
Souliers Martinez is known for comfortable designer shoes made for an active, urban lifestyle. Many styles are flat (1–2 cm heels), most have mid-height heels of 4 to 6 cm, and a few go higher, from 7 to 10 cm. Every style is built on lasts developed exclusively for the brand with Italian last makers, and the brand favors noble, supple leathers such as soft nappa that mold to the foot.
