Senna Black Goat Leather Ankle Boots – 7.6cm Block Heel
Couldn't load pickup availability
Description
The Senna is built on one clean idea: a squared toe, a straight block heel and nothing else. No topstitching on show, no hardware, no seam breaking the line. In black it becomes the most useful boot in the wardrobe, and the only thing carrying it is the quality of the leather, a fine grained goat leather with a soft satin sheen that reveals the shape instead of reflecting the room.
The heel is a straight column of squared section, 7.6cm, tapering only very slightly toward the base and set directly under the heel of the foot. That is what makes this height genuinely walkable rather than only photogenic. A discreet zip runs up the inner side with a small gold pull, so the outer profile stays uninterrupted. The shaft is 17cm high with a 13cm circumference, cut to finish just above the ankle bone.
Black is the easy answer, so the argument here is the cut. The squared toe and the flat faced heel give the boot an architecture that a rounded toe and a curved heel never have, and it is what makes the same black boot look considered rather than default.
How to wear it
- With a silk dress in antique rose, mauve or chocolate, the boot grounding a soft palette.
- With cream or camel tailored trousers cropped above the ankle, so the whole shaft stays visible.
- With straight denim turned up once and a heavy knit, for the everyday version.
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 squared toe gives a little more room across the toes than it appears to, but the fit stays close through the instep and there is no lacing here to adjust it. That is why a fuller foot is more comfortable one size up. If you are unsure, write to info@mangara.be before you order and we will help you choose.
Materials and care
- Upper: genuine goat leather, Leather Working Group certified tannery
- Lining and insole: synthetic, cushioned
- Sole: rubber, 7.6cm squared block heel
- Shaft: 17cm high, 13cm circumference
- Fastening: concealed inner zip with a gold pull
Wipe with a barely damp cloth and let the leather dry naturally, away from any heat source. Use a neutral conditioner from time to time to keep the goat leather supple. Store with a shaper inside so the shaft holds its line.

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.

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.
