The autumn edit · Leavys Shoes
Rich brown suede, glossy black loafers and metallic trainers: our autumn Wonders collection brings plenty of detail to everyday dressing. The trick is choosing the shape and finish that suit how you actually dress.
Here is our guide to seven styles at Leavys Shoes, from a pointed ankle boot for smarter plans to a chunky trainer for jeans and knitwear. We also explain WondersFly and MemoryGel, so you know what those comfort features mean when comparing pairs.
A metallic trainer adds interest to a simple jumper and jeans.
Meet the XFly trainerBlack loafers and bow slip-ons give tailored trousers a polished finish.
Compare the slip-onsChoose soft suede, a neat stretch shaft or a dressier block heel.
Find your ankle bootsThese names describe different parts of a shoe. A lightweight sole changes how a chunky style feels to lift; a cushioned footbed changes the feel beneath your foot.
Lightness in the sole. Used in selected styles to keep a substantial sole light underfoot. Several pairs below use expanded EVA with XL EXTRALIGHT technology.
Cushioning underfoot. A footbed designed to adapt to the shape of your foot, giving a softer feel inside the shoe.
A feature to check separately. The XFly trainer below has a removable MemoryGel insole. MemoryGel alone does not mean an insole can be removed.
Features vary by style. See Wonders’ technology guide for the brand’s sole technologies, and each product page for the details of that particular pair.
A little shine for everyday outfits
The metallic leather and oversized W detail make these a good starting point if your autumn wardrobe is mostly navy, grey or black. Elastic laces and a rounded toe keep the look relaxed.
They combine a WondersFly sole with a removable MemoryGel insole. If you use your own insoles, check there is enough depth and that your heel still feels secure with them fitted.
Wear with: straight-leg jeans, a cream knit and a long coat. Let the metallic finish be the main detail.

Glossy patent · C-33360
Croc-effect panels and a classic front strap give these loafers a smart, textured finish. Elastic inserts beside the tongue help when putting them on. The all-black design works easily with office outfits or dark denim.
Wear with: ankle-length tailored trousers and a shirt, or straight jeans and a relaxed blazer.

Soft bow detail · C-33159
Smooth leather and a large bow offer a softer alternative to a classic loafer. The rounded toe and simple slip-on design make this a useful option when you want a dressier-looking shoe without laces or buckles.
Wear with: a midi skirt and tights, or cropped trousers with a fine knit.
View details & available sizesOur fitting tip: a slip-on should hold your heel without your toes gripping to keep it on. Try both shoes with socks or tights you plan to wear. A roomy upper is not a reason to buy a shoe that is too short.
Start with the clothes you wear most. Brown suede works beautifully with autumn neutrals; black gives a clean line with dark tights or trousers. A pointed toe and covered heel create a dressier effect than a chunky wedge.
Warm suede · G-7033
Curved panels and contrast stitching bring out the rich brown suede. An inside zip makes them easy to put on, while a 6.5 cm heel, WondersFly sole and MemoryGel footbed give this bold shape its combination of height and cushioning.
Wear with: cream knitwear and dark jeans, or a midi dress with brown tights.

Neat stretch shaft · G-7030
Leather around the foot and a stretch shaft create a close-fitting outline around the ankle. This style has an inside zip, a 6.5 cm heel, WondersFly sole and MemoryGel cushioning. Stretch around the ankle does not automatically mean extra width around the foot.
Wear with: a knitted dress and tights, or trousers that fall neatly over the top.

Statement front zip · C-7632
The silver-tone front zip and patterned trim make these the most detailed black boots in this edit. Their sculpted expanded EVA wedge sole has a contrasting zigzag edge, while the suede upper keeps the finish soft and matte.
Wear with: cropped trousers that show the zip, or simple jeans and a cosy jumper.

A dressier shape · I-9013
Embossed leather, a pointed toe and a 6 cm covered block heel give Eliot a sharper outline. A side zip, leather interior and MemoryGel cushioning complete the design. This pair uses a flexible TPU sole, giving it a different construction from the WondersFly styles above.
Wear with: tailored trousers for dinner, or a skirt and tonal knitwear.

A chunky sole does not make a shoe waterproof, and these styles are not listed as waterproof footwear. Suede, patent and smooth leather also need different care. Let damp shoes dry naturally away from direct heat and use care products suitable for the exact finish.
No. The XFly trainer featured here has a removable MemoryGel footbed. Check each style’s description rather than assuming all MemoryGel footbeds come out.
Once you are happy with the fit, start by sitting at home with them on for about an hour, without walking around. Then take them off for the rest of the day. Build up gradually over the following days, adding short periods of walking once they feel comfortable while seated. This gives the material time to settle around your feet before a full day’s wear. Stop if they pinch or hurt; wearing them in will not correct the wrong size.
