Why it's worth it
The snip toe at block-heel height — sharp without the pain of a stiletto.
The Edit
Black smooth leather wraps a pointed snip toe and climbs to a back-zip ankle opening with a small leather pull — no side zip, no interior padding seam to break the silhouette. The block heel sits at a wearable mid-height, squared at the base for stability without sacrificing the sharp sightline from toe to counter. Single vamp seam, tonal throughout.
