What shape is the 'asymmetric d'Orsay line' mentioned in the shoe description?
Reading product descriptions often leads to encountering unfamiliar terminology for shoe shapes. It makes people wonder how the sides of the shoe differ when actually worn.
It is a shape where the outside wraps the foot like a standard pump and the inside exposes the side profile, connecting the inner and outer sides of the foot differently in an asymmetrical way.
The outside is neatly closed, while the inside is cleanly open. PIETON's feather pumps maintain a neat pump shape on the outside of the foot and apply an asymmetric line on the inside that exposes the side of the foot[1].
A d'Orsay originally refers to a style where the sides of the shoe are deeply cut out to reveal the arch and side lines of the foot. Unlike a typical d'Orsay that is open on both sides, only the inner side is cut open, maintaining a pump shape that stably encloses the foot from the outside while offering a refreshing opening on the inside[2]. Added to this are a sleek pointed toe and voluminous ostrich feather embellishments, harmonizing with the asymmetric structure[3].
hmmm, the straight outer line visible when standing firmly and the curve revealed on the inside when taking a step create a distinctive contrast with every stride.
We have not yet confirmed specific fit sensations according to foot width or recommended sizing standards.
