Description
Ankle boots with buckle straps and a heel you can trust
These ankle boots with buckle straps take the biker boot and soften it. The upper is faux suede, the toe is rounded, and a strap wraps around the shaft and closes with two gold-tone buckles.
The heel is 7 cm and chunky, on a thick tread sole. The shaft is 21 cm high and fastens at the top with two snaps. Black and dark brown can be ordered.

The piece: a wrapped strap by Step in Style
Step in Style sells its shoes through a fashion wholesaler in Poland. The maker's description is brief: ankle boots in faux suede, a chunky heel for stability, rounded toes, a strap around the shaft with golden buckles, and two snaps at the top.
The gallery shows two colours. Black and dark brown are in the supplier's range today. Our colour button "brown" is the dark chocolate shade from the last three photos.
Who it's for
For you if you want a few extra centimetres and do not want to think about cobblestones. A block heel of 7 cm on a wide sole carries your weight over a large area.
They also suit you if you like hardware on a boot, in a small dose. Two buckles and two snaps are all the metal there is.
Closer look: what the maker states and what the photos show
- Upper in faux suede (maker's data)
- Chunky heel, 7 cm (maker's data)
- Rounded toe (maker's data)
- Strap wrapped around the shaft with gold-tone buckles (maker's data and photos)
- Two snaps at the top of the shaft (maker's data)
- Shaft 21 cm high; fabric footbed (maker's data)
- Thick sole with deep tread (photos)
- The top edge of the shaft folds outward (photos)
For the black pair the maker also lists a fabric lining. For the brown pair that line is missing in the data, so we cannot confirm it there.
Material and feel: faux suede on a heavy sole
The maker lists the upper as imitation suede: a textile with a brushed, matte surface that looks like suede. The footbed is fabric. The buckles are metal with a pale gold tone in the photos; the maker calls them golden, which describes the colour.
The sole material is not named. It looks thick in the photos, so expect some weight on your feet.
Size and fit: go by the insole
The maker gives the insole length per size: 23.5 cm for 36, 24.5 cm for 37, 25 cm for 38, 25.5 cm for 39, 26 cm for 40 and 26.5 cm for 41. Measure your foot from the heel to the longest toe and choose the size whose insole is a little longer.
The shaft is 21 cm high, which on the model ends well above the ankle. The snaps at the top let you open the shaft to get in. The straps and buckles look adjustable in the photos, though the maker describes them as a feature of the design and does not say they change the fit.

Styling: with a skirt or under jeans
In the photos the boots are worn with bare legs and a short printed skirt. The heavy sole balances a short hem well.
For every day, wear them with straight jeans tucked into the shaft so the buckles stay in view, and a long cardigan. The dark brown pair is lovely with cream and camel knits. The black pair goes with everything you already own.
Occasions
The maker says they fit any occasion. We would narrow that down to the casual ones: weekends, a day of shopping, a concert, an autumn walk through town. A brushed surface marks when it gets wet, so check the forecast.
Care: brush when dry
The maker's data has no care instructions. As a general habit for faux suede, let dirt dry and brush it off with a soft brush. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth, and dry the buckles if they get wet.
The wow detail: one strap, wrapped twice
The strap does not sit in two neat rows. It crosses the shaft on a diagonal, so the buckles end up at different heights and angles. That slight disorder is what makes the boot look worn-in from the first day.
