“Macian is the birthright of two distinct extraordinary design heritages coming together to become one. Our founder, Silvia Olcese grew up in Liguria, a region that was exposed to British culture during the XIX century. As a creative, growing up amidst this historical scenery, mental nods found their way into her intuitive design philosophy. The rusty red, forest greens and mustard yellows of childhood summers in Portofino colored her palette.”

Notes from Lisa · 23.09.2026
Classic women’s shoes with Goodyear welt construction.
If you are looking for classic women’s shoes with a Goodyear welt, such as Chelsea boots or derbies, this brand is worth knowing. I like this construction because the shoes can be resoled multiple times, giving you the chance to wear them for years. The cork filling also moulds to your feet over time, which can make them more comfortable as you wear them.
Every pair is handcrafted in Northamptonshire, England, a region known for its shoemaking. I also appreciate the full leather lining for breathability. I am a Chelsea boot lover, so my pick would be the elegant Silvia Chelsea Boots.
