Nodaleto

Bulla is the flagship family and the one most people picture: heavy squared block heels, retro-leaning lasts and doubled Mary Jane straps, extended across flats, lace-ups and clogs. Dona covers slimmer and generally lower shapes, including thong sandals, mules and fine-strapped sandals, where the sculpted heel is present but far less exaggerated. Both are made in Italy and both appear in the same seasonal materials.

They hold the foot back into the heel cup, which stops it sliding forward onto the toes — the usual reason a heel starts to hurt after an hour. Two straps spread that hold across a wider part of the instep than one does, so the pressure at any single point is lower. The trade-off is adjustability, so buckle or hook-and-loop closures are worth looking for if your instep is high or low.
