Lucini's Cuban heel shoes bring that legendary silhouette to the modern wardrobe — handcrafted in genuine leather, from £54.95.
Designer Cuban heel shoes typically sell for £150 to £300 in the UK. Lucini offers the same statement style from £54.95 — genuine leather uppers, handcrafted comfort, and the unmistakable Cuban profile.

Cuban Heel Shoes — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cuban heel?
A Cuban heel is a short, broad heel — typically 1.5 to 2 inches high — with straight sides that taper slightly toward the ground. It became a menswear icon in the 1960s when The Beatles wore Cuban-heeled boots.
Are Cuban heel shoes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. The broad base of the Cuban heel distributes weight more evenly than a narrow heel, making it comfortable for long days. Lucini's cushioned lining and genuine leather upper add to the comfort.
What should I wear with Cuban heel shoes?
Cuban heel shoes work with tailored trousers and suits for evening occasions, or with dark jeans and a blazer for smart-casual looks. Black suits formal dress; brown and burgundy add character to casual outfits.
How high is the heel on Lucini's Cuban heel shoes?
Lucini's Cuban heel shoes feature a 1.9-inch (4.7 cm) heel — enough for unmistakable presence without compromising comfort.
