{"product_id":"square-toe-block-heel-ankle-boot","title":"Square-Toe Block-Heel Ankle Boot","description":"\u003cp\u003eA squared-toe ankle boot on a low platform, with a 6–8 cm block heel and a zip up the back. The maker files the upper, the shaft, the lining and the insole all as microfibre — 超纤 and 超细纤维 — so this is what it says it is: a well-cut synthetic boot, not a leather one. That is worth stating because at this quality the photographs read as leather at a glance, and a buyer ordering ten units deserves to know which of the two is arriving before the carton does. What the money buys instead is the shape. The toe is square with a flat front edge and softened corners; the heel is broad enough at the base to stand on through a working day and, because it rises off a platform, the angle under the ball of the foot is gentler than the number suggests. The shaft is cut low, so it sits under a trouser leg as easily as over one. Sizes run 34 to 41 on the continental scale, which is eight sizes — two more than most boots in this market are filed in. Black and brown, and each colour comes two ways: 单里, unlined, for the ordinary seasons, or 加绒, fleece-lined, for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot leather, said out loud\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA boot in this material is usually sold on how it looks rather than on what it is, and the two are genuinely close here — microfibre takes a grain and a shine that photograph well, and the frames this maker publishes would pass for leather at a glance. The reason to say so anyway is that the difference shows up in year two, not in week one. Microfibre does not develop a patina, it does not take a polish the way a hide does, and it will not crease into the vamp the way the split-grain flat on this shelf does. What it does do is hold its colour and shrug off a wet pavement better than an unsealed leather would. If you are buying for a customer who wants a leather boot, this is not that boot. If you are buying the shape, the shape is good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo linings under one colour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach colour is filed twice — 黑色单里 and 黑色加绒, 棕色单里 and 棕色加绒 — so the same boot is sold for a mild autumn and for a real winter, and the lining is the only thing that changes. 加绒 is a brushed fleece bonded to the inside of the shaft; it adds warmth without altering the outside of the boot, which matters when one style has to be photographed for a season that runs from September into February. Ordering both means a single silhouette covers the whole year instead of the shelf carrying a summer boot and a winter boot in the same shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA heel you can stand in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heel is filed 高跟, 6 to 8 cm, which reads tall until you see where it starts: it rises off a platform, so the foot is already lifted under the toe and the effective drop from heel to ball is nearer five. The base of the heel is wide — filed 粗跟, a block — and a wide block does not drop into a paving joint or turn under the ankle the way a narrow one does. On a boot that has to read with a skirt and a trouser both, and be worn standing, that is the more useful compromise than a taller, slimmer heel would have been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black · Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e EU 34–41 — eight continental sizes, filed as 34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Microfibre upper and shaft (超纤), microfibre lining (超细纤维), microfibre-leather insole (超纤皮) and a rubber outsole (橡胶大底).
