A bootie cut low at the ankle. The topline sits just below the ankle bone and curves down at the sides, so it holds the foot close while leaving the ankle open — which is what keeps something on a heel this substantial looking light and neat rather than heavy.
The upper is Italian vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials) in black, smooth and softly finished, with an almond toe and no seaming across the vamp. A zip runs at each side in a dark gunmetal finish, and only the inner one works — you step in through that and leave the outer alone, so the pair reads as symmetrical from either angle while the entry stays hidden on the inside.
Underneath, the heel is a covered block at 7.5cm with a stacked finish at the edge, and a slight platform under the toe takes the edge off the height. Inside, a cushioned layered insole with a soft memory-foam top over a recycled PU base.
They work best where the hem stops just above them — cropped wide trousers, straight denim turned up, a midi with opaque tights, a black dress and a long coat. A clean, elegant shape with a real heel under it.
- Upper
- Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
- Lining
- Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) – soft and comfortable against the foot, with a breathable suede texture that helps keep feet fresh
- Insole
- Cushioned layered insole – a soft memory foam top layer over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) cut to fit the shoe
- Outsole
- Slim TR outsole with a compressed Tunit heel (a hard-wearing rubber-resin compound) in a classic stacked finish, with a TR grip layer underneath.
- Shank
- Steel shank for stability and support through the arch
- Hardware
- Side zip with a gunmetal-tone finish for easy on and off.
- Construction
- Mounted (cemented) construction – the upper is lasted to shape and the outsole bonded directly underneath. The most widely used construction method in footwear, it gives a clean, flexible build, though the outsole isn't easily resoled

These shoes are stunning, but tailored for really narrow feet. I would recommend sizing up, even if you have already bought at Will's Vegan before.
You will not fit into your regular size with this shoe. Always order at least one size up.
I really like these shoes, they're comfortable and long-lasting. However, they are they LOUDEST shoes I've ever had--so much so that people turn around when I'm walking nearby, and people I"m on the phone with can actually hear me walking (and comment on how loud the shoes are). I brought them into a cobbler to help, and I was told that the heels are hollow (leading to the loudness); they added rubber soles to the heels, and it's better now.
They look well made and only the inner zipper opens. They are a bit on the small side. Enjoying wearing them :)
I bought these shoes to go with close fitting trousers, but they look great with skirts and dresses too. They are very comfortable - I am surprised how far I can walk in them as the heel is quite high for me. I wish they were still available in brown, as I would definitely get a pair.
