A clean almond toe built for a streamlined ankle boot
The almond-shaped forepart keeps this side-zip boot closer to a dress shoe than a rounded work boot. Its plain toe and uninterrupted black leather make proportion especially important: the shape provides enough length for a refined profile without introducing the sharpness of a pointed boot.
Because the shaft covers the ankle, fit depends on more than toe room alone; instep volume and heel hold also affect how the boot feels when walking. Choose your normal US dress-shoe size and offered width, and use the Fit Guide if boots usually feel tight over your instep or loose through the heel.

This black leather ankle boot is designed for someone who wants the clean line of a dress boot without the formality or effort of a lace-up. The plain toe keeps the front uninterrupted, while the inside zipper makes the boot easier to put on without changing its streamlined appearance from the outside.
Black leather ankle boot · Plain toe · Discreet side zip
Its polished leather and almond-shaped dress profile let it sit comfortably under tailored trousers, yet the simple construction also works with dark denim and everyday layers. The point of the design is restraint: no broguing, no contrast panels and no oversized hardware competing with the silhouette.

Common questions
Use the size guide for US sizing, width and last guidance. If you are between sizes or unsure about width/last, compare your measurements with the product fit notes or contact Handsole before production. Break-in varies by the specific upper, lining, sole, construction and fit.
If the fit needs attention, contact us under the Fit Promise so we can review the issue and the available remake, adjustment or return option for that order.
Break-in varies by leather, lining, last and fit. A correctly sized pair should feel secure rather than painfully tight; the leather and insole will gradually conform with wear.
Construction details for this product are listed in the Materials & Construction section above. Where the build is resoleable, the upper can be retained while a worn sole is replaced when the pair remains serviceable.
Choose from the widths offered above. If you need unusual forefoot or instep room, have different left/right measurements, or repeatedly struggle with fit, review the Sizing & Fit guide or contact us before production so we can compare the available last/width options or a custom adjustment.
Cedar shoe trees after every wear. Brush off dust before applying conditioner. Use a quality leather conditioner every 4–6 weeks depending on use. Polish occasionally. The leather will darken slightly and develop a patina over time — that's expected and desirable.
