Today, Ferragamo's legacy continues to thrive, with the brand consistently producing footwear that merges classic style with contemporary trends.
From familiar silhouettes to fashion-forward designs, these selections epitomize the brand's enduring allure. Ahead, we’ve curated 10 of the chicest shoes from Ferragamo’s current line of offerings.
LOOK: 10 Best Ferragamo Shoes to Shop
1. Red (1960)
The Swarovski-embellished Red (1960) pumps were originally designed by Salvatore Ferragamo for Marilyn Monroe, a pair that the Hollywood star wore to the 1960 premiere of George Cukor's Let's Make Love film. A rightfully glamorous take on the classic stiletto pumps, Ferragamo's Red (1960) features a satin-lined upper, all decked out in luxurious Swarovski crystals.

2. Invisibile (1947)
The Invisible (1947) is arguably the brand's most iconic and historically significant shoe, and for good reason. Salvatore Ferragamo won the prestigious Neiman Marcus Award in 1947 precisely for this shoe's design. Aside from its equally eye-catching, sculptural wedge heel, the Invisible shoe gained early acclaim for its inventive use of nylon, intricately woven from a single thread to form the entire vamp and slingback strap. True to their name, these sandals created the illusion of wearers seemingly walking on air, a groundbreaking design in the shoemaking world at the time.

3. Cage heel sandal
Taking after the innovative spirit of the Invisible sandals, Ferragamo's Cage Heel sandals echo a similar ethos. Their open-toe design showcases an upper crafted entirely from delicate straps of calfskin leather, creating a nearly skeletal appearance. Notably, the curved, birdcage kitten further enhances its distinct caged appearance. This heel shape, originally conceived by Salvatore Ferragamo for the house's Calypso heels in the 1950s, has been reimagined with modern sensibilities, blending timeless craftsmanship with contemporary style.

Set above a curved, horn-effect heel, these slides feature a stylish, asymmetrical upper that perfectly envelops the foot.
