Marco Moreo is a distinguished Italian footwear brand that has become synonymous with quality and style. Premium leather is used across all of its products, for a luxury feel and finish. Marco Moreo’s stamp of authenticity sets this label apart. Handmade in the heart of the country’s shoemaking district, Montecosaro, each piece is a testament to the finest standards of local craftsmanship. The result of this highly refined, time-tested technique is a long-lasting shoe with delicate detail that fits like a dream. A Marco Moreo design is simply unmistakable, and his fierce yet sophisticated style emanates throughout every season’s collection.
The man behind the shoes
Marco remains at the helm of the brand, having spent the last 30 years in the shoe business. As a craftsman himself, Marco learned the art of shoemaking using traditional Italian techniques and customs. Because his father was a shoe agent, his passion for the art developed at an early age. Marco presented his first collection on the stands of his family shoe shop when he was just 20. His background means he knows a thing or two about quality shoes, and he has remained committed to delivering this standard of excellence to a commercial market ever since.
The brand as we know it took off in 1990, when he and an established model maker collaborated to create a collection that truly evoked the Marco Moreo mood. Today, Marco Moreo continues to succeed and prosper. His shoes are a favourite of Irish women, who love how his avant-garde designs make them feel. Marco’s extraordinary creativity makes him a trendsetter in the industry. He is not afraid to take fashion risks, and each piece is designed with one goal in mind: to make the wearer feel amazing. Loud and luxurious with a quintessentially Italian style, Marco Moreo shoes will have you strutting with confidence wherever you go.

Loafers
Marco Moreo tends to include loafer-style shoes in every collection. Loafers are sophisticated and timeless, never going out of vogue. Here are our top picks from our current selection.
We love these deep green patent leather loafers in the Lynn style. Classic with a contemporary twist, these gorgeous slip-on flats look great with a pair of cigarette trousers or a pinafore-style dress. The elevated heel provides the arch support you need to look smart without compromising your comfort. The sparkly diamante band embellishment adds a touch of feminine energy to the piece that is characteristic of Marco Moreo. These winter wardrobe must-haves can be dressed up or down, and will effortlessly take you from the office into the evening.
These wine high-gloss loafers in the Bianca style are a chic yet quirky expression of autumnal style. Lavish and luxurious, these slip-ons are crafted using the finest patent leather. We adore the pointed toe and oversized bow detail, adding some drama to these very versatile shoes. Their rubber sole makes them comfortable and durable enough for everyday wear. Team these stunning flats with muted neutral tones to really make them pop.
Boots
Boots are the essence of true Italian style, and Marco is a bonafide boot connoisseur. Each collection includes a broad range from knee highs to ankle boots, flats to heels. Every woman needs a pair of leather boots in her life, especially as we approach these colder months. Here are some of our favourites this season.
We adore these grey leather mid-calf boots in the Viola style. They are daring and bold, and their signature wedge sole elongates the silhouette of the wearer. Their zip-up fastening makes them mega convenient, simply slide them on and you’re ready to go. Practical and resilient, these boots will have you facing the winter with confidence. Studs and stones decorate the strap on the leg, adding some gritty glamour to these statement shoes. This on-trend earthy grey tone is incredibly versatile, and can be matched with virtually any colour. These boots are best worn with opaque black tights for a flattering effect.
These gorgeous tan leather ankle boots in the Giulia style are making our wildest boot dreams come true. Their classic, chic look will complement any woman beautifully. We love the block heel, which adds a touch of sophistication while giving a subtle lift to your frame. Their soft leather touch will have your feet feeling cosy and relaxed, making them suitable for all-day wear. The gold statement zip, however, steals the show. Lavish and elegant, this detail is what gives the boot its undeniable oomph. The possibilities are endless when it comes to styling these all-rounders, but we love them with a pair of slim-fit blue jeans.
Can we take a moment to appreciate these stunning military lace-up boots in the Kate style? Made from the finest black leather that is tough yet lustrous and supple, these boots will keep you supported whatever the weather. What makes these boots so special is their glam-rock style. We love the ribbon detail, adding a certain softness to balance out the bold silver studs. Their chunky, rubber sole makes them ultra-long-wear, and will have you sashaying the streets with attitude. Stay on trend by pairing these with a contrasting mid-length satin skirt, or a floral dress.
Trainers
Marco makes shoes for women of all lifestyles. Naturally, he understands that many customers simply need leisure shoes for daily wear. His trainers are practical and comfortable, but never at the expense of style. Here’s what we’re crushing on at the moment.
We are in shoe heaven with these metallic lace-up trainers in the Eros style. These luxurious trainers are built for all-day wear, and are ideal for active women who are always on the go.

Turn heads in these black leather platform shoes in the Luna style. Quirky yet sophisticated, these unique shoes encapsulate the Marco Moreo mood perfectly.
