Spool heel suede and dark brown nappa

Chantal ankle boot with a stretch suede shaft in dark brown and a front panel, from the instep to the toe, in smooth black nappa leather. The stretch suede hugs the ankle and calf with a sock-like effect, made possible by the fabric's elasticity without the need for additional lacing on the shaft: closure is entrusted to a rear zip with a gold-tone metal pull, allowing the boot to be put on and taken off without straining the elasticated part. Where the suede meets the black leather, a small gold-colored metal accessory marks the transition between the two materials and echoes the tone of the zip. The toe is sharp and elongated, a line that complements the slim heel: 7.5 cm high on a slightly flared base, offering more stable support than a straight stiletto heel while keeping the same slender silhouette. The stretch suede has a water-repellent treatment, useful on days of light rain, though it should not be mistaken for full waterproofing, which still requires the periodic treatments dedicated to suede. The lining at foot level is leather, for a fit that doesn't trap internal moisture during wear. The sole combines leather and rubber: the leather gives structure and lightness to the base, while rubber is inserted at the points of contact for grip on sidewalks and smooth flooring. The dark brown of the shaft and the black of the front panel are both neutral colors: the ankle boot pairs with dark jeans, tailored trousers and midi skirts without requiring other color considerations in the outfit, and the fitted shaft makes it comfortable even under straight-leg trousers, without the bulk of a wider silhouette.
