Description
Sculpted leather architecture meets effortless slip-on ease in Bally’s contemporary Glide silhouette.
The Bally Glide crossover-strap sandals embody the Swiss maison’s refined approach to modern resort dressing. Defined by its fluid, interconnected strap construction, the Glide design wraps the foot in a series of elegantly curved leather bands that converge at the toe, creating a continuous flowing line reminiscent of the brand’s signature curved aesthetic. The open-back slide format offers effortless wearability while maintaining a distinctly polished finish suitable for both coastal escapes and urban summer ensembles.
Crafted from supple calfskin leather, the Glide sits atop a low-profile leather sole that has become a hallmark of Bally’s contemporary footwear collections. The crossover straps are precisely die-cut and hand-finished, with clean edges and tonal stitching that speaks to the brand’s 175-year heritage of Swiss shoemaking excellence. A subtle embossed Bally logo on the sole provides discreet brand recognition without disrupting the sandal’s minimalist visual language.

The calfskin leather used in the Glide collection is selected for its natural softness and ability to mold comfortably to the foot over time. Bally’s leather soles are treated with a protective finish while maintaining the breathability and refined appearance that defines Swiss luxury shoemaking. The fine grain texture of the upper leather catches light subtly, lending understated sophistication to each step.
Styling
Pair these crossover-strap sandals with tailored linen trousers and a relaxed silk shirt for an elevated Riviera-inspired look, or style them with flowing midi dresses and cropped trousers for warm-weather sophistication. The neutral leather palette makes the Glide a versatile companion to both monochromatic summer wardrobes and bolder printed ensembles.
