Solea White Pointed Ankle Boots with Three Buckles, 8 cm Heel

White heeled ankle boots with three buckles on the side

These white heeled ankle boots have a pointed toe, an 8 cm heel and three buckled straps across the shaft. The upper is artificial leather and the shaft is 11 cm high.

White boots are a statement of intent in a Dutch winter. If you are reading this, you probably already know that.

At a glance

The piece: model 221018

The wholesaler's brand field says Solea. The description text calls the boot "Suria" from the brand Gemre. We pass on both names as we received them, because we cannot tell from the data which one is on the box.

The text itself is mostly sales talk. The facts we can use are short: heeled ankle boots with decorative buckles, artificial leather outside, fabric footbed, an 8 cm heel and an 11 cm shaft.

Who it's for

For you if you are comfortable on a heel of 8 cm and want a boot that gets noticed. The heel is slim, so these are for pavements and restaurants more than for cobbles.

Closer look: what the data and the photos show

• Decorative buckles (maker's data): three straps with silver-toned buckles on the outer side (photos)
• Artificial leather upper, fabric footbed (maker's data)
• Heel 8 cm, shaft 11 cm (maker's data)
• Long pointed toe (photos)
• Zip on the inner side (photos)
• Slim heel in a tan, wood-like colour on the white pair (photos)
• Top edge of the shaft cut in a soft wave (photos)

Materials and build: artificial leather

The upper is artificial leather with a smooth finish. White shows every scuff, and a synthetic surface is at least easy to wipe. The footbed is fabric.

The data does not name the sole or say whether the shaft is lined.

Size and fit: insole length

The insole runs from 23.5 cm in size 36 to 26 cm in size 41, half a centimetre per size. On a heel of 8 cm your foot slides forward a little, and the point narrows. If you are between sizes, the larger one is kinder to your toes.

The shaft is 11 cm and sits just above the ankle bone.

Size chart (cm)

Source: the maker's size table. Insole length is the inside length of the boot; the pointed tip takes up part of it.

Styling: colour or all black

One photo shows the white boots under a magenta trouser suit, cropped at the ankle. That works because the boots become part of a loud outfit and not the only loud thing in it.

The opposite also works: all black, with the white boots as the one bright point. With blue jeans, choose a straight leg that ends above the top buckle.

Occasions

Dinner, drinks, a party, a day at the office when you have something to present. Save them for dry days; white artificial leather and slush are a sad combination.

Care: wipe after wearing

The maker gives no care text. Artificial leather is usually wiped with a soft damp cloth. With white, do it after each wear, before marks settle in.

The wow detail: three buckles in a row

Three narrow straps wrap the shaft, each closed with a small silver-toned buckle on the outside. They do not open the boot; the zip does that. They are there for the look, a bit biker, a bit equestrian, on a slim party heel.
