Premiata Women's Shoes: Leather and Suede Sneakers

Women’s Shoes · Premiata

At the boutique right now, there are twenty-one Premiata women’s sneaker models, 156 pairs in total, priced from 125 to 340 euros. It is an assortment that changes every week: if you are looking for a precise size in a specific model, the product page always tells you what is actually available.

What sets one Premiata apart from another sneaker

Three things, and you can see them all from the outside. The high sole: almost all women’s models have a thick sole, in some cases a double-layer platform, that adds a few centimetres without the weight of a wedge. The mix of materials: leather and suede on the same upper, often with fabric inserts, and on some models glittering details. The stamps on the midsole: the rubber band is printed with the house’s logos, the signature that makes the shoe recognisable from behind.

It is a sneaker that stands on its own in a look: it is not the neutral shoe to wear with everything. Those who buy it at the boutique usually choose it for exactly that — for the sole and the print, not to go unnoticed.

The families available now

Bethcoin is the one we have the widest selection of: a mix of leathers and fabrics, a high sole, glittering details, and a denim version. It is the model we see selling most often.

Micol is the true platform: a double-layer sole, Premiata stamps on the midsole, and despite its height it remains lightweight. Choose it if the lift is the reason you are buying it.

Hill and Lauryn are the two boldest lines — one of the Hill models features a snakeskin print. Bonnied and Mased sit in the mid-range for height. Devin is the most expensive model we currently carry.

Lucyd takes the opposite approach: clean lines, the lightest in the group, and the one to look at if you are not interested in a high sole. Davidd is ice white with perforated detailing and leather-coloured laces, while Moerund completes the selection.

Colours, and animal print

The broadest part of the assortment is in browns and animal prints — snakeskin and cow print — followed by black, white, dark brown, burgundy and one denim style. Animal print works on Premiata because the sole is already substantial: the print is on the upper while the sole remains neutral, so the shoe stands out without becoming a costume. With dark jeans and a smooth coat, it is the only statement piece you need to consider.

Sizing: Premiata has one chart

We stock sizes from 35 to 44, with the broadest selection between 36 and 40. Choose your usual size: they are lace-up sneakers, so going down a size is unnecessary.

One thing to know if you are comparing English or American sizes: Premiata publishes a single chart. From EU 36 to 37.5, the rows are marked «(W)» and use women’s sizing; from 38 upwards, the UK/US conversion published by the house is the men’s conversion, and it is also used for women’s models. So from 38 upwards, do not rely on the UK/US conversion: check the centimetres. For comparing systems, use our size converter.

Care instructions

Suede should be brushed dry with a rubber brush and protected with water-repellent spray before its first outing — not after the first rain. Leather can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Not the midsole. The stamps are printed on the rubber: an abrasive sponge or whitening product will remove them, and the shoe will lose exactly the detail you chose it for. Lukewarm water, mild soap, a soft toothbrush, and nothing more.

Where to look next

The entire house, men’s and women’s collections together, is in Premiata; the men’s selection is in Premiata men. If you are comparing brands, the other women’s sneakers are in women’s sneakers, and the entire footwear department is in women’s Shoes.

Frequently asked questions

How do Premiata women’s sneakers fit?

They fit true to size: they are lace-up sneakers, so going down a size is unnecessary and compresses your toes without tightening anything. The point to pay attention to is not the length but the instep, because the high sole makes the fit feel stiffer during the first few days. If you have a high instep, half a size up makes a difference.

Does Premiata’s UK/US size-chart conversion also apply to women?

Only up to 37.5. Premiata publishes a single chart: the rows from EU 36 to 37.5 are marked «(W)» with women’s sizing, but from EU 38 upwards, the published UK/US conversion is the men’s conversion and is also used for women’s models. From 38 upwards, it is best to use centimetres rather than English sizes.

What is the difference between Bethcoin, Micol and Lucyd?

They represent three heights and three personalities. Micol is the platform: a double-layer sole and the most pronounced lift. Bethcoin sits in the middle, with its mix of leather and fabric and glittering details, and it is the family we have the widest selection of. Lucyd is the cleanest and lightest, the one to look at if the high sole is not the reason for your purchase.

Can the stamps on the sole be washed?

It is best not to scrub them. They are printed on the midsole rubber, not engraved: an abrasive sponge or whitening product will fade them in just a few strokes. Lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft toothbrush remove dirt without touching the print, which is the signature that identifies the model.

How can you wear Premiata animal print without overdoing it?

Treat it as the statement piece. The print is on the upper and the sole remains neutral, so keep everything else simple: dark jeans or plain trousers, a simple knit and a coat without patterns. The mistake is pairing them with a bag or belt featuring another print.

Are the Premiata sneakers you sell authentic?

Yes, 100%. Vittorio Citro is an authorised Premiata retailer: every pair comes from the house in its original packaging with a guarantee of authenticity. Shipping is free in Italy from €149, and returns are free within 30 days.
