What’s Minimalist Footwear Fashion?

Revolutionizing the ethics of fashion requires a delicate balance of sensible touches that still carry a dramatic edge, a mission Marcella is serious about. Our minimalist design follows this by giving you, your wallet, and your closet the freedom to wear clothing that feels great and looks truly unique. 

Our Harlow Boots follow this motto to a tee (and down the block). Our genuine black Italian leather boots give your silhouette a powerful finish with a lift both literally and figuratively. The classic knee-high look is timeless, and gives any look, from a dress to blue jeans and an edgy top, that finishing touch that turns heads. The sleek leather is the perfect base for an asymmetric outfit. 

If you need shoes that have a little more of an edge by turning zippers into a fashion accessory, the Karma Boots for women are exactly what you’re looking for. These boots are a minimalist masterpiece, featuring a unique ribbed detail, oversized double zip pull, and a sneaker-inspired toe cap to create a refreshing streetwear look. 

What Shoes for What Occasion? 

Minimalism comes in all shapes and sizes, and so do our boots for women. From a shoe that you can walk in for miles at a time to sleek heels that turn heads with the empowering look and height, it will be all eyes on you (especially on date night). Marcella designs shoes that are meant to last and help you live your life, from the subway to the office to happy hour. 

Like the legendary street it’s named after, the St. Marks Sneakers know how to make an impression by working hard and partying harder. Handcrafted by one of Europe’s leading shoemakers, these minimalist white shoes lovingly hug your feet while looking stylish in genuine leather. They have a thicker sole, giving your look a little lift and avoiding body pain with the help of ergonomic design. Arch support for long days and longer nights. 

For a day at the office, you want a shoe that makes fashion casual without ever sacrificing style. The Carnegie boots make simplicity stylish. These chunky platform boots (in black or olive) are perfect for an everyday outfit. Crafted from premium Italian leather with side zippers and elasticated panels (the Chelsea Boot style) makes it easy to slip on and slip off these boots. When working in the city, you need a boot that is comfortable and easy to wear.

A night out is filled with endless possibilities, and you need a shoe that is ready for anything (well, almost everything). The Linette sandal gives your feet breathing room and a reliable fit with the help of an adjustable buckle closure. These strappy sandals come in lilac, pink, or black, and are made from genuine Italian leather built to carry you from the restaurant to the dance floor and back again.  

How do you style your shoes?  

Boots for women shouldn’t be made hard to match. Dressing and designing your outfits are the first step in making an outfit match, and your shoes are an essential part of the outfit. Marcella makes our designs easy to match with an outfit that’s as adventurous as you are. A cute go-to heel like our Parker sandal works great with a cute top and soft leather pants. For shoes like the Journey Boots, you can complete the look with a bodysuit for a slim look. 

Color coding is another important step in showing off your outfit and making sure the whole wardrobe pops. Marcella has a wide variety of black boots and shoes for a few reasons: black is the classic New York look, and it helps set your canvas. When you have strong black boots or shoes, like the Lawrence boots, along with black pants and a black top, you can then add a layer of orange, yellow, or another bright color in the form of an accessory, like a scarf, clutch, or backpack to make the whole outfit stand out and create endless looks. 

But wearing all black works as well. It’s a classic NYC look for a reason, and it is always worn well.
