Nodaleto

Nodaleto designs its shoes for women, and that shapes how a man might wear them. The French house has its shoes produced in Italy and builds every style on a women's last. The look it is best known for pairs a broad, geometric heel with a square toe, and that heel sits steadier underfoot than a narrow one at the same height.

For a man drawn to that geometry, the shoes are still open to him, with a few realities to weigh. The sizes are European, so the length carries over from a man's own EU size, but a women's last runs narrower at the heel and across the ball of the foot. A wide foot is the thing to check before anything else. For the shoes as the label intends them, see Nodaleto for Women.
