Pointed-Toe Slingback Heel

A closed, sharply pointed slingback on a slim 5.5 cm heel, cut low over the instep and closed behind the heel with a buckled sling. The upper is a woven fabric rather than leather, which is why the colour sits matte and even across the vamp in every frame and why the toe takes such a narrow point without a seam showing. Inside, the lining is PU and the outsole is rubber. The maker sells four colourways and photographs all four — nude, pearl white, black and the hunter red — which is rarer than it should be, and each has its own tile on this page. The heel is the interesting number. The title sells 5.5 cm and the maker prints 5.5 cm over its own product plate, while the attribute field files a 6-to-8 cm bracket; the photographs show a low heel that agrees with the plate, so 5.5 cm is what this page says, with the bracket noted. Sizes run 34 to 41, so both ends of the curve are real. One thing to plan around: the maker files the sourcing as made to order rather than stock on hand, and its own latest-ship window is 8 to 15 days.

Made to order, not off a shelf

The sourcing field reads made to order on this listing, which on this platform means the shoe is made when it is ordered rather than pulled from a bin. That is not a problem — it is why eight sizes and four colours can all be genuinely available at once — but it changes how a quote is written. The maker gives its latest shipping window as 8 to 15 days and its fastest as 1 day, and those two numbers cannot both be true of the same colourway. We work to the longer one and confirm per colour on the quote.

Pointed in the photographs, square on paper

The attribute field says square toe. Six frames say otherwise: the vamp comes to a real point on every one of them, and the headline sells a pointed toe. This is the ordinary state of a supplier attribute table — filled once, never corrected — and the pictures are the better witness. It matters commercially, because a buyer quoting a square-toe basic and receiving a sharp pointed slingback has a return on their hands. The page says pointed and the field is recorded at the top of this entry.

The right number for the heel

A 6-to-8 cm bracket is what the maker typed into a form. A 5.5 cm figure is what it printed over its own product photograph, twice, and what it put in the title. Between a form field and a value the maker chose to publish on top of its own image, the published value is the more deliberate statement — and the frames look like a low heel. The bracket is kept on the page beside it rather than dropped, because the two disagree and a buyer deserves to see that they do.

Details

• Colour: Nude · Pearl white · Black · Hunter red
• Size: EU 34–41 — eight continental sizes, filed as 34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41
• Material: Woven-fabric upper, PU lining, rubber outsole. The padded toe the maker calls a toe cushion is a padded toe, not a fibre.
• Sole: Rubber — the sole-thickness field files a standard build with no figure
• Heel: 5.5 cm by the maker’s own count — the headline and the plate printed over two frames both say 5.5 cm, while the heel field files a 6 to 8 cm bracket on a slim heel. The 5.5 cm is the figure the maker prints, so it is the one this page leads with.
• Fit: Closed pointed toe (the photographs; the toe field files a square toe), a slingback strap closing on a buckle, held on without an ankle strap. Width and instep: DETAILS TO BE CONFIRMED with the maker.

Care

• A woven-fabric upper takes a mark from water rather than from scuffing. Brush it dry, spot-clean with a barely damp cloth, and let it dry away from a radiator.
• The point of the toe is the first thing to go: it will hold a dent if the shoes are stacked toe to heel in a box. Pack them back to back.
• The maker publishes no care symbol and no fibre composition beyond the word “woven”. Both are quote questions.

Why we chose it

Because all four colourways are photographed, one colourway per frame, which is the opposite of how most listings in this batch behave — and because the two numbers that matter most on a slingback, the toe shape and the heel height, are both contradicted by an attribute field and both settled by the makers own printed evidence. It is also the one closed shoe of the five, which is what makes it the piece a buyer can sell into an office wardrobe rather than a wedding.

One piece is fine. Buy a single piece at the price shown, or ask for a trade quote from ten units — written by a person, never read off a table.
