ERIC MICHAEL

Eric Michael is a women's footwear brand known for leather sandals, wedges, espadrilles, sneakers, and boots with a European made, comfort focused approach. According to retailer descriptions, the shoes are made in Spain, Portugal, and Italy from European leather and suede, with some designers working with the same factories since 1984. At Sole Provisions, the Eric Michael collection brings together wedges, slides, slip ons, flats, and booties, and it sits naturally beside our wider women's footwear, women's sandals, women's heels and wedges, and women's sneakers selections.

Eric Michael shoes suit people who want a fashion forward look with padded insoles and flexible soles. The sections below explain the brand's story, how the shoes are made, and how to choose a pair.

Made in Spain, Portugal, and Italy

The brand describes its shoes as made in Spain or Portugal, and retailer listings show that individual styles vary: some sneakers and sandals are listed as made in Italy, others in Portugal or Spain. Espadrilles are described as made in Spain with jute trim and natural rubber soles. Because the country of origin changes from style to style, check the product information for the pair you are considering. Founding details are not listed on our collection page, so for the brand's own history, visit its website. If you enjoy European made comfort brands, you may also like Toni Pons, Pikolinos, and As Portuguesas.

Wedges and Espadrilles

Wedges and espadrilles are among the brand's best known styles. Retailers list leather and perforated wedge sandals, strappy low wedges, and woven platform styles, often with a cushioned footbed. A wedge spreads weight across the whole foot, which many people find easier to wear than a thin heel. Browse our wedges, women's heels and wedges, and heeled sandals. Styles in our collection change often, so check each product page for what is available now.

Sandals and Slides

For warm weather, Eric Michael offers scalloped and strappy leather sandals, slides, and adjustable strap styles. Retailer listings mention features such as cork soles, cushioned footbeds, and hook and loop straps on some styles, though features vary. Browse our women's sandals and slides.

Slip Ons and Sneakers

Easy on and off styles are an Eric Michael staple. A retailer describes the Lucy slip on sneaker as having a stretchy upper and a removable footbed that can be swapped for your own support. Browse our women's sneakers, women's slip ons, and flats. If you want to add your own support, see our shoe inserts.

Booties and Boots

For cooler days, Eric Michael makes booties, Chelsea styles, and tall boots in leather. Browse our booties, ankle boots, Chelsea boots, and women's boots. Suede is not waterproof unless a style says so, so check each product page before wearing in wet weather. Use our shoe care products to protect leather and suede.

Comfort Features to Look For

Retailers describe padded insoles and rubber outsoles across the line, with some styles adding memory foam or cushioned footbeds. Comfort depends on the style and your feet, so look for a padded insole, a flexible sole, and a secure fit. For medical questions about your feet, including bunions, check with a healthcare professional. Browse our arch support shoes if you want more built in support.

Choosing the Right Fit

Fit varies by style, and sizes are usually listed in European numbers, so check each product page and size chart. Width and sizing details are not listed on the collection page, so try a pair in store when you can. If you need more room, browse our wide width shoes. Try shoes on later in the day, when feet tend to be fullest. For a personal fitting, visit one of our Sole Provisions locations, or read more in our educational hub.
