Technical specifications

Overview: a wedge boot for everyday wear

Ankle boots are the shoe many women reach for from autumn onwards, and a wedge version makes sense if you walk a lot. The sole is continuous from heel to toe, so there is more surface under the foot and the boot feels steady. The 162002 combines that with a plain upper that does not dominate an outfit.

The brand is Carmela Shoes. We stock it because it offers dressed-up shapes at a practical level of comfort.

Design and details

The boot has a lace-up front. Laces give you control over fit at the ankle and instep, and they let you adapt the boot to different sock or tights thicknesses. The upper is leather with fabric details, which adds some contrast without making the shape busy.

Our records describe the colour as black split leather. Split leather, often called suede-finish or serraje, has a soft, matte surface that is less glossy than smooth leather. It looks good with dark denim, grey and neutral tones and takes well to protector sprays.

Materials and construction

The leather upper holds its shape and moulds gently to the foot with wear. The fabric details are for contrast and flexibility. The stitching is reinforced where the boot takes strain, and the finish is neat at the edges.

The wedge sole gives height without a narrow heel. Underfoot is a padded insole for softness. We do not quote a precise heel height because it is not listed in our product data; the product page shows the photos, and you can write to us for a measurement.

Comfort in daily use

A wedge spreads the load along the foot, so the heel is not carrying everything. The padded insole softens the contact with the ground, and the lace-up front lets you tighten the ankle so that the foot does not slide forward on slopes and stairs.

As with all leather boots, plan a couple of short outings before a long day to let the leather settle. Wear socks or tights in the thickness you intend to use when you check the fit.

How to wear them

• With slim or straight jeans, tucked or worn over the boot shaft.
• With a midi skirt and a knit for the office.
• With a dress and a coat on cooler days, where the wedge gives extra height to the hem.
• With tailored trousers and a blouse for a smart look that is still comfortable to walk in.

Care

Brush split leather gently with a suede brush to lift the surface and remove dust. Apply a protector spray before first wear and again at the start of each season. Avoid soaking; if the boots get wet, stuff them with paper and let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators. Do not use polish or creams designed for smooth leather on a suede-finish surface.

Keep them in a dry place with boot shapers or paper in the shaft to hold their form.

Size guide

The 162002 is sold in European women's sizes. As an approximate guide, EU 36 is about UK 3, EU 37 about UK 4, EU 38 about UK 5, EU 39 about UK 6, EU 40 about UK 6½ and EU 41 about UK 7. These equivalents vary slightly between brands.

If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one, particularly if you wear thick socks or tights, or if your feet swell during the day. The laces let you take up spare room at the instep, while a boot that is too short cannot be adjusted.
