Point Toe Flats Sandals with Buckle Strap

Point toe flats sandals: closed in front, open behind

The supplier calls these point toe flats sandals. In practice they are backless flats: the toe is closed and pointed, the heel is open, and a narrow strap with a small buckle crosses the instep.

They are flat, made of PU leather and rubber according to the supplier, and come in four colours in EU sizes 35 to 42.

At a glance

The piece: a pointed flat by Aloha Sandals

The label is Aloha Sandals. The supplier lists: flat, true to size, PU leather and rubber, imported, shoe box not included.

The photos are informal snapshots. They show a smooth upper with a soft sheen, a dark sole with a very low heel, and an insole printed with the words FASHION WOMEN SHOES. A plain white box appears in a few photos. It is a prop; the shoes are shipped without a shoe box.

Who they're for

For you if you want the neat line of a pointed shoe without a heel and without a closed back. You slide in, fasten nothing, and go.

A pointed toe narrows towards the front. If your forefoot is wide, keep that in mind when you choose a size.

Materials and build: faux leather and rubber

The supplier names PU leather and rubber. PU leather is faux leather, a coated synthetic material. From the photos, the upper and strap are the faux leather parts and the sole is the rubber part.

The supplier does not describe the lining or the insole material.

Size and foot length

According to the supplier they are true to size, so order your usual size. The chart gives a foot length for each EU size, from 22.4 cm for 35 to 25.9 cm for 42.

Measure your foot standing, heel to longest toe. With an open heel there is nothing to hold a shoe that is too big, so do not size up more than you need.

Styling: skirts, cropped trousers, jeans

The photos pair them with a long white ruffled skirt. They work just as well with cropped trousers and with straight jeans that end at the ankle.

Beige and ivory lengthen a bare leg. Black is the office choice, and yellow is the pair that makes a plain outfit cheerful.

Occasions

Office days, lunch, a summer wedding as a guest, city trips on dry days, evenings when you do not want heels.

Care

The supplier gives no care instructions. Faux leather usually wipes clean with a soft, damp cloth. The light colours will show marks at the toe first, so wipe them after wearing.

The wow detail: one strap

A plain backless flat can slip. Here a single narrow strap crosses the instep and closes with a small buckle in the same colour as the shoe. It holds the foot, and it draws one clean line across it.
