A.F. Vandervorst leather heeled ankleboots EU Size 38

These A.F. Vandervorst leather ankle boots carry the house’s signature red cross stitched quietly into the back seam, the same mark An Vandervorst and Filip Arickx have used since their first show to sign a piece without ever naming it. Black leather runs smooth up the shaft, structured enough to hold its shape without going stiff. The heel does the real work here, a sculptural cutout that reads more architecture than accessory. It’s cantilevered in a way most heels don’t bother attempting. A.F. Vandervorst built its name in Antwerp on restraint paired with one loud detail. This pair might be the clearest example of that formula yet. We think the heel alone is reason enough to buy these.
