The summer break of recent weeks has precipitated the expected wardrobe change. Coats for shirts, pants for skirts and, of course, boots for sandals. For this season, the big brands have already passed judgment on what is going on this spring-summer.
In this context, the trend is indisputable, the field of craftsmanship and creation with raw materials take on greater prominence. Signatures like Loewe or Jacquemus They have reinforced this discourse from the catwalk, betting on natural fibers, organic volumes and an aesthetic that connects with what is essential. With this reference, local brands like Exé Shoes find their natural space to become the accessory that every girl wants to have.
His latest collection is built on materials that refer to the essential —raffia, braided ropes, natural fibers— and a palette that ranges from earth tones, deep blacks, soft golds and vibrant accents. An aesthetic that seeks to integrate into everyday life. Recently, we have seen the success of the brand with its sandals in settings such as the April Fair.

We find ourselves in a moment in which terms such as “vegan leather” dominate the discourse of sustainability in footwear, while the reality is less accommodating: many synthetic materials involve more complex and, sometimes, more polluting processes. Faced with this, natural leather—well treated—continues to be a durable and breathable option. These premises have been previously endorsed by organizations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which has been pointing out for years the real complexity of the impact of synthetic materials on the fashion industry.
For their part, sandals, due to their very construction, represent one of the lightest and most functional types of footwear. These involve less structure, less material, more functionality. And that is where footwear achieves its mission: to provide comfort.
According to the trends collected by Exé Shoes, The data confirms that flat and low-heeled models are gaining ground as the season progresses. If the beginning of spring still allows for a certain theatricality with a certain heel involved, the arrival of summer demands pragmatism. Less artifice, more rest and lightness.
With more than two decades of experience, Exé Shoes has built its own language in the Spanish market: reinterpreting the codes of luxury from an accessible and functional perspective. A precise balance between what marks the present and what remains.
