Vagabond Black Wedge Chelsea Ankle Boots - Tara 4846-101

Vagabond Black Wedge Boot — Tara 4846-101

The Vagabond Tara is a black leather ankle boot with a round toe and a 5.5cm block heel set on a 2cm flatform sole, designed for work wear and casual evenings out. The stretchy calf material creates a close, streamlined fit through the ankle and lower leg, while the leather upper softens with wear for all-day comfort. This is a considered wardrobe piece — the kind of boot that moves easily between the office and an evening out without looking like it's trying to do too much.

Fit and Sizing

The Tara fits true to size and runs in a standard width — the leather upper softens with wear and will adapt to the shape of your foot over time. The stretchy synthetic calf panel means the boot accommodates different calf shapes without pulling or gaping. Half sizes are not available in this style, so if you are between sizes, take the larger of the two.

Best For

• Work wear and office-to-evening dressing
• Casual nights out or dinner with friends
• Autumn and winter city dressing
• Weekend styling with jeans or straight-leg trousers
• Women who want a clean, unfussy boot they can wear frequently

Styling Guidance

The Tara works particularly well with straight-leg and wide-leg trousers — the flatform sole and clean ankle line sit neatly under a longer hem without adding bulk. Worn with a midi skirt, it gives a classic, put-together look that works for the office or a lunch out. For a more casual feel, pair with slim or tapered jeans tucked into the boot shaft, and a relaxed knit on top.

• Works well with: Straight-leg trousers, wide-leg trousers, midi skirts, slim-leg jeans
• Colour palette: Black, charcoal, camel, navy, cream, deep burgundy

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this true to size? Yes, the Tara fits true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend taking the larger size as half sizes are not available in this style.

What is the heel height? The Tara has a 5.5cm block heel with a 2cm flatform sole, giving a total lift of approximately 7.5cm with a stable, grounded feel underfoot.

What material is the upper made from? The upper is cow leather sourced from Portugal, with a stretchy synthetic panel on the calf section. The leather softens with wear and moulds to the foot over time.

Are they comfortable for all-day wear? The flatform sole makes these more comfortable for extended wear than a stiletto of similar height — the base is wide and stable, which reduces fatigue. The Tencel-blend lining also helps keep the foot comfortable throughout the day.

Are they suitable for work? Yes — the Tara is well suited to office and work environments. The clean silhouette, black leather upper, and neat flatform sole makes them a practical choice for professional settings, and they carry easily through to an evening out.

Does the stretchy calf material accommodate different leg shapes? Yes — the synthetic stretch panel on the calf means the boot fits a range of calf widths without the need to size up. It pulls on easily and holds its shape without looking loose or baggy.
