Viv Pointy Toe Boot
Our Viv pointy toe boot brings refined European styling to your everyday wardrobe. Crafted from supple Italian leather, this mid-calf silhouette features a sleek pointed toe and a tapered block heel that offers both height and stability.
We source full-grain leather from a fourth-generation tannery in Tuscany, where hides undergo a six-week vegetable-tanning process. This method preserves the natural grain and ensures the leather develops a rich patina over time.
Sizing & fit guidance
The Viv runs true to standard US sizing and accommodates medium-width feet comfortably. If you typically wear a half size, we recommend ordering your usual half size for the best fit.
Shaft & calf measurements
The shaft measures approximately 11 inches from the base of the heel to the top edge. The calf circumference at the widest point is 14.5 inches, with a slight taper toward the ankle. If you have narrow calves, the full-length side zipper allows you to adjust the fit with tucked-in jeans or leggings. For wider calves, consider trying the boot with straight-leg trousers worn over the shaft.
Care & maintenance
Before wearing your Viv boots for the first time, apply a thin layer of leather conditioner or neutral cream polish to seal the grain. Reapply conditioner every four to six weeks if you wear the boots frequently.
Clean scuffs and dirt with a soft, damp cloth, then allow the leather to air-dry away from direct heat. For deeper stains, use a leather cleaner formulated for aniline-dyed hides. Avoid waterproofing sprays that contain silicone, as they can darken vegetable-tanned leather permanently.

Questions about the Viv pointy toe boot
The Viv runs true to standard US sizing. If you typically wear a whole size, order that size. If you usually wear a half size, we recommend ordering your usual half size for the most accurate fit. The boot accommodates medium-width feet comfortably and features a roomier almond-shaped toe box that prevents pinching.
If you’re between sizes or have narrow feet, consider sizing down. For wider feet or high arches, stick with your regular size.
The Viv features a 2.5-inch tapered block heel. This height provides subtle elevation without sacrificing stability or comfort. The heel is stacked from compressed leather layers and finished with a rubber cap for traction on wet surfaces.
Most customers find the heel walkable for extended wear, including commutes and full workdays.
The shaft measures 14.5 inches in circumference at the widest point, which fits medium calves comfortably. For wider calves, we suggest wearing the boot with straight-leg trousers or pants that sit over the shaft rather than tucking them in.
The full-length side zipper provides some flexibility in fit. If you know you have athletic or wider calves, consider reaching out to our customer service team before ordering—we can provide detailed shaft measurements for your specific size.
Before the first wear, apply a thin layer of leather conditioner or neutral cream polish to protect the grain. Clean scuffs with a soft, damp cloth and allow the boots to air-dry away from heat sources.
Reapply conditioner every four to six weeks if you wear the boots regularly. Avoid silicone-based waterproofing sprays, as they can permanently darken vegetable-tanned leather. Store the boots upright with boot shapers inside the shaft to prevent creasing.
Yes, the Viv is designed for extended wear. The cushioned leather insole provides arch support, and the block heel offers more stability than a stiletto. Most customers report the boots feel comfortable right out of the box, with minimal break-in time.
The leather upper softens after the first few wears, molding gently to your foot shape. If you plan to walk long distances, we recommend adding a thin gel insole for extra cushioning.
The Viv is available in three Italian leather colorways: classic black, warm cognac, and rich espresso. All three shades are aniline-dyed, meaning the natural grain remains visible and the leather will develop a unique patina over time.
Black offers the most versatility for office and evening wear. Cognac adds warmth to fall and winter outfits. Espresso sits between the two, working well with earth tones and neutrals.
The Viv features a full-length interior side zipper that runs from the ankle to the top of the shaft. The zipper includes a leather pull tab for easy handling and sits flat against the interior lining so it doesn’t rub your leg.
This full-zipper design makes the boot simple to put on and take off, even when wearing tights or layered socks.
