Brand Spotlight

Herbert Levine

Herbert Levine is an American luxury shoe label founded in 1948 by Herbert Levine and his wife Beth Levine in New York. While the company bore Herbert's name, Beth was the true visionary designer behind the brand's revolutionary footwear creations, earning her the title "America's First Lady of Shoe Design." The brand catered to Hollywood stars, US First Ladies, and fashion enthusiasts with groundbreaking designs that fundamentally transformed women's footwear. Beth Levine is widely credited as the first designer to introduce boots into haute couture, challenging traditional perceptions of women's footwear and creating iconic pieces like thigh-high stocking boots, "Geisha" sandals, and signature sculptural heels. The brand revolutionized the industry by creating feminine and delicate designs that exposed more of the foot, making shoes both sexy and elegant. After closing in 1975, Herbert Levine was revived in 2008, and in 2025, continues its distinguished legacy under new creative direction, honoring its rich heritage while embracing the future of luxury footwear design.
