The Genius by Lodi is a black suede court shoe with a pointed toe, a squared-cut vamp and a 7cm flared heel, built for work, formal occasions and everyday wear. A NewGel cushioned footbed keeps the shoe comfortable underfoot, so it holds up as well at a full day in the office as it does at an evening event.

Fit and Sizing
This style runs true to size with a standard court shoe fit, suiting most foot widths comfortably. The flared shape of the 7cm heel gives more ground contact than a slim stiletto of similar height, which makes it steadier to walk in, and the squared vamp adds a touch of structure across the front of the foot without changing the overall sizing. Half-size availability for this style is still to be confirmed.
Best For
- Wedding guest in Ireland
- Work events and smarter-casual dressing
- Mother of the bride or groom
- Communion and Confirmation season
- Formal dinners and evening occasions
- Everyday wear that carries from day into evening
Styling Guidance
Black suede brings a softer, more textured finish than patent, which makes it easy to wear across both casual and formal settings. Pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for the office, or with a midi dress for occasion wear. Camel, grey and stone all sit well against black suede, and it takes to jewel tones just as easily for evening dressing.
- Works well with: tailored trousers, pencil skirts, midi dresses, smart-casual separates
- Colour palette: camel, grey, stone, jewel tones, black
