Inga Black Leather Ankle Boots – Gold Toe Cap, 8.7cm Stiletto Heel
Couldn't load pickup availability
Description
The Inga is the boot that finishes an outfit rather than joining it. Smooth black calf leather cut clean over a long, finely tapered point, with a polished gold metal cap set into the toe and a matching gold zip at the inner side. The 8.7cm stiletto is slim and slightly curved, the kind of heel that lengthens the whole leg without turning the boot into a costume.
Black and gold is the reason to own this one. The metal cap catches every light in a room, so the boot reads as jewellery at the end of a plain trouser or under a column dress, and the black leather keeps it serious. It is a boot for dinner, for a gallery opening, for the evening where you want to be looked at properly.
Size & fit: please read before ordering
Made on the same French last, cut slim and precise. If your feet are slim to average, order your usual size. If they're wider, we'd suggest sizing up.
The long point adds length in front of the toes, not width across them: it does not pinch a normal foot, but it will not create room for a wide one either. The metal cap is rigid, so the very tip does not soften with wear the way plain leather does. If you are between sizes or have a fuller foot, take the larger size, and if you are unsure, write to us at info@mangara.be before you order. It is faster than a return.

Patricia Cossettin Created Mangará to Redefine Luxury Footwear—Made Accessible for All
Great shoes should feel effortless. Because every Mangará pair is handmade in Brazil on a French last, our shoes have a particular, consistent fit — and once you know it, choosing your size is easy. Here's everything you need to get it right the first time.
How our shoes run: the French last
Our shoes are shaped on a French last, which gives an elegant, slightly slim fit through the foot. If your feet are narrow to average, take your usual EU size. If your feet are on the wider side, read the wide-feet notes below before choosing.
Find your size (EU size chart)
The most reliable way to size is by foot length, not by the size you usually buy — brands vary.
How to measure:
- Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall (measure at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger).
- Mark the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure heel-to-toe in centimetres. Measure both feet and use the larger.
- Match your longest measurement to the chart below.
| EU size | Foot length (cm) |
|---|---|
| 36 | 23.0 |
| 37 | 23.7 |
| 38 | 24.3 |
| 39 | 25.0 |
| 40 | 25.7 |
| 41 | 26.3 |
| 42 | 27.0 |
These are guide measurements. If you're between sizes, size up or contact us — we're happy to help you choose. We also offer half sizes (36.5–41.5) on many styles.
Wide feet? Narrow feet? Here's what to choose
- Wider feet: because of the slim French last, consider sizing up by half a size, and favour adjustable styles — ankle straps, buckles and toe-ring slides give the most room. Open styles (slides, mules, strappy sandals) suit wider feet better than closed courts.
- Narrow feet: take your true size; adjustable straps let you tighten for a secure fit.
- In-between: size up to the nearest half size — leather gives a little as it softens, but never shrinks.
Leather that moulds to you
Our calf leather is supple from the first wear and continues to soften, gently shaping to your foot over the first few outings. A snug (never tight) fit at the start is normal — it's the leather getting to know you.
Still not sure? We'll help — and returns are free
If you're between sizes or unsure which style suits your feet, message us before you buy — we're happy to advise. And because every order includes free 30-day returns across Europe, you can try your pair at home with no risk.

Fit FAQ
Do Mangará shoes run true to size?
They run slightly slim because they're made on a French last. Narrow-to-average feet: take your usual EU size. Wider feet: size up half a size and choose adjustable styles.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
Yes, with the right choice. Pick adjustable, open styles (ankle straps, buckles, slides, toe-ring sandals) and consider a half size up. Closed courts are the slimmest fit.
Should I size up or down?
When in doubt, size up to the nearest half size. Leather softens and gives slightly with wear; it won't shrink to fit.
Are the heels comfortable to walk in?
Most of our heels are stable block heels (roughly 4–9 cm) designed for real, all-day wear rather than standing still.
Can I return them if the fit is wrong?
Absolutely — free 30-day returns across Europe.
