Straight from the last Lineapelle,our report on soles and heels for the S/S 2026
We drew extensive inspiration from the last edition of Lineapelle and produced a comprehensive report featuring all the exciting new materials showcased at the fair, along with some trend suggestions to explore.

Summer Vibes
The uppers of sandals and slippers, as well as those of other light and typically summery models, are likely to aim for simplicity. It will be the soles and heels, then, that will make the difference. In some cases with a more decisive edge, in others by simply choosing more unusual shapes.

Strong and sculpted
The sculpture of the bottom, the typical carrarmato texture reinvented through unusual patterns or out-of-the-ordinary colour tones, will have their say in the coming summer.

Training Styles
The trainer continues to thrive in all collections. If a few bottoms are still aiming at larger than average volumes, there are more and more proposals that are going back to flats, or at least to more traditional thicknesses. This applies to both the sportier and the more elegant models.
