Fit and Sizing

The Giselle fits true to size across the range. The stretch shaft accommodates a standard calf width and fits neatly to the leg, giving a clean look without pulling or gapping. The block heel and goat leather insole provide underfoot support for regular daytime wear. Half sizes are not available in this style, so if you are between sizes, consider sizing up.

 

Best For

•       Everyday wear — workdays, errands, and casual daytime outfits

•       Office and workplace dressing where a smart-casual boot is needed

•       College days that call for something more polished than a trainer

•       Evenings out that start from the office or afternoon

•       Autumn and winter wardrobe building — a reliable ankle boot that works across outfits

•       Transitional dressing between seasons when closed boots are still needed

 

Styling Guidance

The Giselle's pointed toe and close-to-leg shaft make it a natural partner for slim and straight-leg trousers, where the boot and hem meet cleanly. Worn with a midi skirt or dress, the 57mm heel adds just enough height to balance the proportions. For a put-together daytime look, pair with wide-leg tailored trousers in camel, charcoal, or navy and a neat knit — the black leather grounds the outfit without overpowering it. It also works well under dark wash or black denim for a more relaxed but still intentional feel.

Works well with: slim and straight-leg trousers, midi skirts and dresses, wide-leg tailored trousers, dark wash denim

Colour palette: black, camel, charcoal, navy, ivory, deep burgundy

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boot true to size?

Yes, the Giselle fits true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up as half sizes are not available in this style.

What is the heel height on the Giselle?

The heel measures 57mm, which is a mid-height block heel — enough to give a lift without the commitment of a stiletto.

What is the upper made from?

The upper is made from cow leather sourced from Portugal, with a synthetic stretch section in the shaft (65% Polyurethane, 35% Polyester) to allow for the sock-boot fit.

Are they comfortable for all-day wear?

The Giselle has a goat leather insole, a block heel for stability, and a Tencel-blend lining, making it well suited to a full day of wear rather than just short outings.

Are the Giselle boots suitable for everyday wear?

Yes — this is a versatile everyday boot designed to transition between work, casual wear, and smarter daytime occasions without needing to change shoes.

How does the stretch shaft fit around the calf?

The shaft has a 253mm width with a stretch synthetic panel, so it sits close to the leg on a standard calf. It is designed to fit neatly rather than loosely, which gives the clean sock-boot silhouette.
