Sock Ankle Boot with Buckle Toe-Cap

The stretch shaft hugs my ankle and slides on with the pull loop. The gold-tone buckle on the toe-cap looks smart against black.

It's a small detail but it lifts the whole boot. I get asked about it every time.

The loop at the back is useful, but small, and my fingers struggle in a rush. I love the boots otherwise.

Neat, chunky and easy. I wore them to the office with trousers and then to drinks with a skirt.

The low block heel kept me on my feet all night at a friend's birthday. Wore them with a midi skirt and felt chic.

They sit neatly under my wide-leg trousers, with the chunky sole giving a modern shape. My usual size fits just right.

Stretch fabric means no zips or laces. I walked two miles on their first outing and my feet were happy.

The mix of textures is clever: sleek toe-cap, stretchy shaft. Light enough to forget I'm wearing a chunky sole.

Slipped them on over opaque tights with a corduroy skirt. The shaft fits close without squeezing.

The smooth finish picks up scuffs quickly. A soft damp cloth sorts it, but I'm careful on kerbs now.

Comfortable, but I felt the block heel on my first long walk. After a couple of wears my feet adjusted.

The sock-style shaft is stretchy but tight over thick tights. I wear thinner ones and they're lovely.
