Gianvito Rossi's India 70 is a minimalist gold leather thong sandal with a 2.75-inch heel. Built for beach and destination weddings where less is more, this is barely-there luxury for warm climates.


The Gianvito Rossi India 70 sandal is a gold leather thong sandal with a 70mm (approximately 2.75-inch) heel. This is a minimalist, warm-weather style built for brides who want barely-there elegance rather than traditional wedding shoes. The thong silhouette and metallic gold finish make it suited to beach weddings, destination ceremonies, or minimalist modern aesthetics where less is intentionally more.
No comfort data is available for this specific model. What we can assess: a 70mm heel is low enough to wear comfortably for extended periods, and the block construction (typical of Gianvito Rossi's numbered heel heights) offers better stability than a stiletto. However, thong sandals place all upper support on the toe post, which can cause rubbing or discomfort if the fit is not precise. This is not a shoe you want to wear for the first time on your wedding day without testing it thoroughly beforehand.
No sizing data available for this model. Gianvito Rossi generally runs true to Italian sizing, but thong sandals are particularly unforgiving if the fit is off. Recommend trying in store or ordering with a retailer that offers free returns. Pay attention to whether the thong post sits comfortably between your toes without pinching or sliding.
This is a warm-weather wedding shoe, full stop. The exposed foot and thong construction make it appropriate for beach ceremonies, tropical destinations, or outdoor summer weddings where traditional closed-toe styles would feel out of place. The gold leather reads formal enough for a wedding, but the casualness of the thong silhouette limits versatility. If your ceremony is indoors, traditional, or in a cooler climate, this is not the right choice. If you are getting married barefoot on sand and want something beautiful to slip into for the reception, this works.
The India 70 is a luxury option for a very specific bride: someone getting married in a warm climate who wants minimal, modern elegance and is comfortable in thong sandals. The 70mm heel is manageable, and the Gianvito Rossi craftsmanship ensures quality. But the lack of comfort data, the inherent limitations of thong construction, and the narrow wedding context make this a considered purchase rather than a universal recommendation. If this matches your wedding aesthetic and climate, it is a beautiful choice. If you are hesitating, there are likely better options for your day.
