Metal Ankle-Strap Platform Sandals

An open peep-toe sandal in soft-touch suede, built on a chunky covered platform with a mirror-polished metal cuff wrapping the ankle in place of a fabric strap. The cuff fastens with two side studs and a back zip for entry, sitting above a tall, thin metallic stiletto that carries the same reflective finish down to the tip. The 16cm heel is an extreme platform height designed for party and stage styling, and the covered platform helps offset some of the pitch that a heel this tall would otherwise have. Because the cuff is rigid metal rather than fabric or elastic, it holds its shape and polish through repeated wear rather than stretching or creasing the way a strap would.

Soft-touch suede upper on a covered platform, with a rigid, mirror-polished metal cuff around the ankle that fastens with side studs and a back zip, set on a 16cm metallic stiletto. Brush the suede with a dry suede brush to lift marks rather than wiping with water, and buff the metal cuff and heel with a soft cloth to keep the polished finish free of fingerprints and scuffs — handling the cuff by its edges rather than the flat polished face helps keep it free of marks between wears. Store with the heel supported so the thin metallic stiletto doesn't bend under pressure.

A platform sole helps offset the height of a very tall heel, distributing pressure more evenly. The rigid metal cuff is also inherently more durable than a fabric or elastic strap, since it doesn't stretch, fray or lose its shape with repeated wear the way a soft strap eventually would.
