Is the Jovi good for all-day wear?

The stacked flare heel is more stable than a stiletto, but it is still a raised heel with a pointed toe. It suits shorter stretches and evenings better than long days on your feet.

Does the zip actually open?

Yes. The bootie has a working brass zip closure, so you can open it to get the boot on and off rather than pulling it on.

How does the Jovi compare with a plain leather ankle bootie?

It is bolder. The stud detailing, contrasting full-grain leather trim and sculpted heel make it a statement piece, while a plain bootie is easier to wear every day.

What is the heel like?

It is a sculpted stacked flare heel, so it is built up in layers and widens toward the base. That shape gives more support than a thin heel.

What is the upper made of?

The trim is 100% full-grain leather, which is the durable top layer of the hide. The bootie is finished with contrasting leather trim against the main upper.

Will the pointed toe fit wide feet?

A pointed toe runs narrow toward the front, so wide feet may feel pressure at the toes. If you are between sizes or have a broad forefoot, consider sizing up.
