Alexander McQueen Size 38 Black Leather Ankle Length Boots

A center front zip runs the full height of the shaft, exposed silver teeth rather than tucked away, so the hardware reads as part of the design rather than an afterthought. A buckled strap closes at the top, grommets punched along it in a row that borrows straight from motorcycle gear, McQueens favorite source material when a shoe needs an edge. Black leather throughout, smooth and unembellished everywhere the hardware isnt, letting the stitching and zip do the visual work instead of any print or texture. A slim stiletto heel keeps the silhouette sharp.
