Fit and Sizing

This style is true to size and fits a standard width foot, though it is cut narrower through the front and is best suited to narrower feet. Half sizes are not available in this style, so if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up rather than down. The slingback buckle allows for some adjustment around the heel, which helps fine-tune the fit once the shoe is on.

• Occasion wear and evening events
• Work events and smarter-casual dressing
• Wedding guest in Ireland
• Christmas and party season
• Mother of the bride or groom
• Race day and formal daytime events

Styling Guidance

Black suede is one of the most versatile choices in a wardrobe, working equally well with tailored trousers, a pencil skirt, or a midi dress for evening. For work, pair with a wide-leg trouser in navy, grey or black for a polished, elongated line. For occasion wear, this shoe sits well under a knee-length or midi dress in jewel tones or neutrals, and the pointed toe suits both fitted and flared hemlines.

• Works well with: tailored trousers, midi dresses, pencil skirts, wide-leg trousers
• Colour palette: black, navy, grey, burgundy, emerald
