I never thought I’d become one of those people who really liked shoes.
Growing up I was barefoot half of the time (the rest of the time I was in my tackies or flip flops). But as I’ve developed more than a passing interest in style, shoes have become slightly more important. I’m not going to pretend this is a life and death situation. I understand that most people wear shoes for utility. That some people find shoes, fashion or any of that stuff, a touch frivolous. But I see it differently, and that’s okay.
What we wear can be a way of expressing ourselves, just like the books we choose to keep on our bookshelves, the art we choose to collect, the music we choose to listen to. So I’ve become more comfortable with being interested in fashion, and now I’m just embracing it.
Good shoes change everything about how your outfit looks. They keep you comfortable. And if you look after them, and they’re decent quality, they can last you a really long time. Which brings me to the concept of buying fewer things.
I’m no expert on sustainable or conscious fashion (at all), but I’m trying to learn. Because just as we’ve become more aware of how much plastic we use, or of how what we eat impacts the environment, so too do we need to address what we choose to wear each day.
So for me currently, this means buying fewer, better quality things, and wearing them A LOT. I have a mustard satin skirt from Poetry for example that I’ve now worn over 50 times I reckon, and I’ve only had it a few years;). I’m also trying to mend things that break, repurpose items and share clothing with friends, as well as buy vintage and used pieces, instead of fast fashion all the time.
Pesso shoes are not fast fashion. They are handcrafted in Europe by expert leather makers and you can feel the difference. I’ve been gifted shoes from Pesso for around four years now and I still have every single pair they’ve given me, because they just last and last, never go out of style, and are such excellent quality.
My most recent gift is a pair called the Grama, which are leopard print (LOVE) and have a bit of a heel to add some definition to your legs. Apparently they are their bestseller this summer and they have had to order more to keep up with demand! These look great with shorts, jeans, skirts – you name it.
Pesso also have various lovely styles on sale currently, including my favourite metallic sandals (featured on the right) and some gorgeous pastel sneakers, so have a look.

So many pretty shoes to choose from. I’ve loved many of the options but none more so than the Pesso Mute in Black. Perfect for Summer.
Being a busy mom going to netball matches, market days I love the big bow shoes. Super trendy mom on the go. #pessoperfect are all the shoes difficult choice to be made
Ooohhh my it’s hard to choose, but I LOVE the Pesso Greek silver sandals!! Beautiful… I have a lovely pair of neutral colored Pesso flats which I bought a few years ago already and wear all the time… Heaven for your feet and as you say Quality over Quantity is the way to go… 🙂
So hard to choose!! But I think Pesso spot espadrille is an all season winner or a beautiful metallic wedge for instant way to pep up jeans and a white tee
Love the metallic sandals you have on in the picture😍
There are so many beautiful pairs! I’d love to have the Pesso Valentine🥰
love the big bow shoes. Absolutely stunning
I would love to win the big bow sneakers. It’s absolutely stunning. Since I’m unable to wear high heels now because of an illness, this will be perfect and so comfy for me.
So many amazing, beautiful designs 😲 I’m in love 😍 with the Pesso uniform shoe 👠 this will be awesome for work
Peso Spanish are gorgeous! Loved so many heels too. Tough to narrow down to just one pair!
For sure
PESSO EVERTON
PESSO SPOIL …and they on sale so whoooop!
Oh man I would love them!!
Gosh, so many gorgeous choices. Love the Pesso Spud, so versatile!
I adore leopard print sandals they are exquisite
Truely African look
They give the feeling of being strong and powerful
Who wouldn’t want to be wearing them absolutely a must be seen
🐯🐆🐅
I’d love a pair of Pesso Grama.
PESSO Espadrilles are what I want to get
Pesso Grama
I have one pair of Pesso shoes and been dying to buy another. If I was lucky enough to win a voucher I would buy the Pesso Greek. Would look gorgeous with a skirt or a pair of 3/4 pants. Holding thumbs.
Aaaaah I LOVE the Grama and they would be a treat for weekends but if I had to choose it would be the essentials Alba …. I would wear them every day!
I’d love a pair of Pesso Spot.
I love to buy the Pesso Essentials Alba in black and if the sale is still on I can get the white on too with the voucher
The Pesso Grama
Gosh .. a pair of the Pesso spot would be a fabulous chic replacement for my cheap and nasty ‘tekkies’ that have been through the mill and back – LOVE the Pesso style <3 .. and they make small sizes for my smaller-than-average feet !
Pesso essentials Alba would be amazing!
So many favourites! I LOVE Pesso Bill, Pesso Tule AND Pesso Veld. Always wanted a pair of veldskoene!
I’m obsessed with the Pesso Spike espadrille sneakers. Would LOVE to win the voucher and snap those up.
Hard to chose just one but I think I would go for the bingo. Need some good casuals at the moment!
Too many to choose from but probably the Pesso grip in blue!
Pesso Bill !
ooooh! Pesso Signature Ruling Sneakers 🙂
A pair of Essentials Darling and a sneaker…maybe Every / Ever….have been eyeing them for a while….but they all feel so comfy if you try them on!!! Decisions decisions…😁🤔 It eill be my first pair!
Gold espadrilles
Beautiful range to choose from.
I will treat myself to the Pesso Tudor.
Love the style.
A absolute pleasure and delight to read the review thank you for introducing me to this brand.
pesso zen woven are beautiful
Pesso ruling sneakers for sure! I just love Pesso too… just can’t usually afford them 🤣🤣
They are certainly amazing quality and sooo comfortable
I love the Pesso Vegan Bip Cork
OMW… They have gorgeous shoes!!! It will be a toss up between Mute, Speech or Spin… so hard to choose
I’d get the Pesso Tusk in black. Also loving the Pesso Valencia
Pesso Fritz
Oh la la! So many gorgeous pairs to choose from! But if I had to pick, I’d say my favs are: Pesso Every (I am going through a pink phase at the moment), the Pesso Roll Cork looks super comfy (and I love that it’s a little different with the cork texture), the Pesso Zen would fancy up a pair of jeans and white tee beautifully, and the PessoSignature Starlet is calling my name loudly, which is odd – because heels are not usually my go-to, must-have thing!?
I love their espedrille range, it’s absolutely gorgeous, really loving the Pesso Snake and the Pesso Spanish in black, but to be honest, because winter is coming, I’ll definitely go for the Pesso Blonx, it’s so stylish 👌
Sooo difficult to choose one! The Pesso Every looks incredibly comfortable and versatile. I’d love a pair.
I have been dying to get the Pesso Grama shoes for AGES so would love to get them!
I’ve loved these shoes since I first found them on Instagram! I’d love a pair of Pesso Spanish!
The Pesso Tulash is so beautiful ♥️
Hi B, I’ve been eyeing out a pair of Pesso’s for ages. I’d love a pair of Pesso Spike. I see they are having a sale- could be perfect timing.
I would definitely choose a pair of Pesso Greek sandals. Super comfort and long lasting style in a tone that suits the current trend, goes with everything, but not too blingy as to go out of favour anytime soon.
I’d get the Pesso Essentials Alba or the Pesso Mute.
Love these shoes
The pesso bolt in black!
Volt, Vote & The Bird …., so hard to choose xxxx
I absolutely love the Pesso Spanish Espadrilles! I would totally get those if I had to win 🙂
Love the Pesso Earth Beach. It looks like a very comfortable shoe.
Pesso Mute (in all available colours) Love Pesso!
I’m gonna buy from the Sale 💞 I want to Pesso Essentials Alba & Pesso Korea
PessoSignature Starring
Definitely Pesso Spanish espadrilles
I would buy the red Pesso Speech (currently on sale), and then another paid of Pesso Zen Woven, because it feels just like wearing slippers. 🙂
I love the Pesso Veld shoe in pink!
It would be Pesso Signature Ruling sneakers. I love Pesso shoes with all my heart because they are very comfortable❤❤❤.
Oh man, the PESSO Greek and PESSO Spanish have stolen my heart ever since they were launched!!! How the hell do you even choose 1 pair! xoxo
PessoSignature Starring
I love the Pesso Grama too. I have had my eye on them since December last year!
Pesso Bird for me thanks! So many to choose from….that was tough!
As I can only choose one pair of Pesso’s as my favourite, it has to be the espadrilles, Pesso Spoil. Really all their stuff is so beautiful!
Also, I’m a sucker for a gorgeous wedge 🙂
Yes please I love this competition! Pesso Zen woven look uber comfy 🌟
I’d like the Pesso Essentials Nice, I think. But also tempted by Everton. Love shoes and clothes that last forever!
I would love the Pesso Bird -silver slides!
I’d love the Pesso Greek! What an absolutely gorgeous shoe! ❤️
Definitely Pesso Bliss…amazing!!
Grama or espadrilles are spectacular.
As a brand new first time Mommy where none of my clothes fit me right now this would be such a blessing to win!!! OMW how would I ever decide, there are just so many to love!!! I especially adore the Pesso Everton, Pesso spake, Pessi spot, and the Pesso Zen 😉
I really can’t choose between, Pesso Greet & Pesso Valencia. I would probably buy the Pesso Greet……will be able to use it more because more an everyday shoe than the Valencia.
How to choose?!? I would love to get the Bird or Grama or any of the espadrilles! Fingers crossed🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Awesome site! Thanks for sharing….have to say I love the Pesso Grama!
Being in the southern suburbs ,I have found it so difficult to physically try on my favourite pessos since shoe connection closed down.
I really miss the store and seeing the pesso shoes.
I would absolutely love to get my feet into the white or grey
Pesso Spike
I would love to get a pair of the espadrilles trainers.
What a fab competition!! I’d love a pair of the Everton 👟 as they look super stylish yet comfy too!
So hard to choose as there are about 5 I would love but my top 3 would be:
Pesso Korea
Pesso Spoil
Pesso Essential Alba
Pesso Tulash is beautiful, but there are some lovely ones so it’s hard to choose!! They look really comfy too
I’d love the Pesso Spill!
The Pesso Bird is the one
I love the Pesso Every range, look super comfy for a mom on the run l the time☺️
Love the Pesso Essentials Alba and the Pesso Bird!
Love the Pesso Fritz!!!
I adore the Pesso Spam, Pesso Spanish and Pesso Spoil (apparently I’m all about the S’s) Lovely giveaway
Pesso Mute and Pesso Belly 😍
I love the Pesso Essentials Alba wedge
I tried on a pair today and it was LOVE!! Unfortunately, they are just not in my budget right now, but I’d love the metallic slip on pair like the ones you’ve featured. I’m a school teacher on my feet all day, so these would be like heaven. ☺️
So hard to choose but Pesso PointyChic for me – work and weekend sorted!
These shoes are beautiful. I would flaunt the Pesso Vada if I could 🙂
Hmmm Pesso Nurse – I’m thinking ahead!
My choice was from the espadrille collection and I chose the pesso spam. A very comfy, plain and simple shoe that can be worn with anything from cotton pants, flowy skirts, denim shorts or jeans. I love the color, I love the style and I’m hoping I get the opportunity to get my hands onto a pair of them.
I love the cork collection … specifically loving the cork slip on!! 😍😍
Love these shoes – Pesso Spot will be my choice!
Love the Pesso shoe range of espadrilles. They are not only tready but comfy on another level. I would only choose the Pesso brand for every occasion
As a person who believes leopard print is a neutral I would go for the Pesso Volt
Pesso Spanish por favor 🙏🏽
Pesso signature starlets
I use to buy froggies and one day i got hold og a pair of valencia heels. Perfect for my ” all day on my feet job”, I have since bought espadrilles and would love to add more of these beautiful, comfy yet very on trend shoes, to my wardrobe. I would buy the bird sandals and possibly a pair of snakeskin sneakers.
Shoes glorious shoes….
I would most certainly buy the bloom slingback heels and a must have clutch.
Have always wanted a pair of Pesso’s❤️
Love Pesso spin in green.
I like the Pesso Spanish!
Pesso roll cork 🥰 love them!!!
Hello Belinda, I covet those animal print slides you always wear, the site says they’re Grama. They are fabulous!
I’d for sure go with either the Pesso Greek in silver, or the Pesso Bliss in the rose gold – gorgeous!
I love the Fritz or otherwise maybe the Gail, which would be perfect for the April wedding I’m attending.
Pesso valentine!
Ooohhh!!! Pesso Roll Cork is gorgeous. Have my eye on a few bags too 😉
The Pesso Bird. So pretty, definitely in silver
I love the Volt sandal. It is classic and good enough for work and for going out at night
I absolutely love 2 pairs: The Pesso Greek and the Pesso Spain. They both are gorgeous but i love the uniqueness of both. I love the top part of the Pesso Spain it reminds me of alladin which i loooove.
In the Pesso Greek I love the ankle strap and also the sole which is sooo funky and dressy.
I love the pesso roll cork – it vegan sustainable eco friendly the closer we stay to Mother Nature and what she has to offer the the more grounded we are holistically in mind soul and body what we wear on our feet is important in keeping us grounded this is natural pure
Loving the Pesso Speech wedge style shoe! Looks so comfortable and oerfect for a dress doen or dress up outing.
So much to choose from not knowing what I would take… These shoes are amazing.. Especially for having such small chubby feet.. I need to buy shoes that doesn’t choke me or hurt my feet… I would definitely take the Pesso signiture starlett
Mmmmh, tough one, but perhaps a pair of Pesso Spams
Wow, so many gorgeous styles! I love the Pesso Greet as well as the Pesso Best – they’re the perfect heel height for my foot issues.
Absolutely love all Pesso shoes! Stylish and comfortable, the Grama’s are my favorite at the moment! Would love to win this
So many beautiful shoes. I think I like the Pesso Spanish shoes the most! They look like they can be dressed up and down. Too gorgeous.
Definitely Pesso Valkyrie!
Ooh, maybe the Pesso Great as I like a bit of bling and it’s on sale…
Ooooh, Pesso Signature Ruling for me please (the gold ones). Or the Pesso Bird. Decisions! Decisions!
Either the Pesso Bird or Pesso Spanish 🙂 Can I also say, it is so refreshing to see a competition where you just enter once instead of ‘1 tag = 1 entry’. That totally stresses me out and I never end up entering those ones.
Hm, tough decision but I’d say the Pesso Spike….
Wow I love this brand! Classic yet trendy! My absolute favorites are the Pesso Essentials 2 Nice 💙
I love leopard print so the Pesso Volt would definitely be my first choice
I love the Gramas!! It looks so comfortable.
I’d order those animal print ones with the heel. Love!
