Vagabond Black Pointed Toe Ankle Boot — Giselle 5854-001-20
The Vagabond Giselle is a black leather ankle boot with a blunt pointed toe and 57mm block heel, designed for everyday wear, the office, and smarter casual occasions that call for a polished silhouette without effort. Crafted from cow leather with a smooth, structured finish, it fastens with a neat inside zip for a clean, sock-boot line against the ankle. The block heel gives confident height while remaining stable underfoot — a practical choice for days that run long.
Key Features
- Leather upper: Crafted from cow leather sourced in Portugal, with a smooth finish that wears well across seasons.
- 57mm block heel: Provides a comfortable, stable lift — enough height to sharpen an outfit without sacrificing balance.
- Blunt pointed toe: A refined shape that reads modern and sleek without being extreme — works with both tailored and casual dressing.
- Inside zip fastening: Allows easy on-and-off while maintaining a streamlined exterior with no visible hardware.
- Sock-boot silhouette: The close-fitting ankle cut sits neatly against the leg, making it particularly flattering under trousers or with midi skirts.
- Goat leather insole: Chrome-free tanned, sitting comfortably underfoot and giving a more breathable feel than synthetic alternatives.
- Thermoplastic rubber outsole: Provides grip and durability for everyday use on varied surfaces.

Fit and Sizing
The Giselle fits true to size and suits a standard foot width. The sock-boot construction gives a snug, neat fit around the ankle, so if you are between sizes or have a slightly broader instep, it is worth trying your usual size first before sizing up. Half sizes are not available in this style — if you typically take a half size, we recommend sizing up to the next full size and wearing with a thin insole if needed.
Best For
- Everyday wear — running errands, meeting friends, days that require looking put-together without overthinking it
- Office and workplace dressing — a versatile boot that works under trousers or with a blazer dress
- College and campus life — comfortable enough for a full day on your feet, smart enough to carry into the evening
- Autumn and winter going-out outfits — pairs easily with jeans, midi skirts, or straight-leg trousers for an evening out
- Smarter casual occasions — lunches, city breaks, cultural outings where comfort and style both matter
- Transitional season dressing — the block heel and leather upper carry well from early autumn through to late spring
Styling Guidance
The Giselle works best when the ankle is visible or the boot is allowed to define the leg line — wear them with cropped straight-leg trousers, wide-leg tailored trousers that skim the top of the shaft, or a midi skirt with a slight hem split. In black, they anchor most colour palettes without competing — they sit particularly well with camel, chocolate brown, cream, forest green, and deep burgundy. For a more minimal look, pair with black cigarette trousers and a structured coat in a neutral. For a more relaxed take, dark-wash or black jeans tucked in at the ankle will do the work.
- Works well with: Straight-leg and wide-leg trousers, midi skirts, tailored blazer dresses, dark-wash jeans
- Colour palette: Black, camel, cream, forest green, burgundy, chocolate brown, charcoal

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 to the next full size as half sizes are not available in this style.
What is the heel height? The block heel measures 57mm — approximately 5.7cm. It gives a confident lift while remaining stable and walkable for everyday use.
What is the upper material? The upper is made from cow leather, with the leather component sourced in Portugal. It has a smooth, structured finish that holds its shape and responds well to regular leather care.
Are they comfortable for all-day wear? The combination of a stable block heel, soft leather upper, and chrome-free goat leather insole makes these a reasonable choice for a full day's wear. They are not a cushioned walking boot, but for office wear or a day out in a city, they carry well.
Are they suitable for everyday wear? Yes — the Giselle is designed with daily wear in mind. The inside zip, block heel, and clean silhouette make them easy to reach for across a wide range of everyday situations, from the school run to the office to an evening out.
What care does leather footwear like this require? To keep the leather in good condition, use a black shoe cream periodically to nourish and restore colour, and apply a protector spray before first wear. This helps the leather resist moisture and maintains the finish for longer.
