BOTTEGA VENETA/ヒール/EU 41/レザー/CRM/Uチップ/ゴールデンノットスティレット

The golden knot detail is what sold me—it’s even more striking in person, and the U-tip keeps the silhouette sleek. The stiletto feels steady on carpet, though I’ll save them for special occasions since they’re pre-owned and I want to keep that white leather fresh.

The white leather is pristine for a used pair, and the U-tip design looks even sharper in person than in photos. Fit is true to a US 8, so I slipped right into them without any break-in fuss. The golden knot heel detail gives them that little extra that dresses up even simple outfits.

The U-tip design makes these feel a bit more elegant than your average stiletto, and the pre-owned condition was honestly better than I expected. They’re a little snug at the toe, but that’s likely just the leather still needing to break in.
