Buckle Slingback Pumps

Minimal can also be memorable. Case in point: these black slingback pumps that combine wearability and style seamlessly. The pointed toe and block heel ensure an office-ready look that is as comfortable as it is professional, while the modern cut-out design and sleek buckle accent set these shoes apart from their traditional counterparts. Style these pumps with a plaid blazer and fitted slacks for a serious day at work. Complete your look with a woven tote.

• Material: Faux leather
• Heel height (cm): 3.5
