About the Brand -
"Achilles' Heel" – A weakness of the strong footed haut monde

The brand name represents its product strength as an inspiration from the immortality of the Greek hero – Achilles. His weakness in the heel signifies every buyer’s weakness for these shoes.

This unique proposition is an amalgamation of style forward designs offering superior comfort, craftsmanship par excellence and an online store experience which stands unmatched.
