Korean shoes are fashionable and functional. Every silhouette, material, and finish, draws upon the ways of a country rich in art, culture and design. If there’s one characteristic that unites current trends, it’s structured minimalism. Shoes created by Korean designers and brands may look like they are not for everyone, but with know-how and an avant-garde vision of your own style, this is possible. They can become the piece that can elevate a look from simple to extraordinary.

María José Gonzálvez, Associate Fashion Editor at Vogue Mexico, who spotted the most individualistic shoes on her recent trip to Seoul, South Korea, can attest to this. “Walking through Hanok Village on my way to Changgyeonggung Palace, I stumbled upon this Cueren’s minimalist shoes caught my eye,” she says. “They were leather shoes—which, apparently, is a widely used material in South Korea. Ballet flats, sneakers, loafers; all made of beautiful leather and in colors perfect for a wardrobe staple.”
