Matt Bernson Cracked Suede Jardin II Ankle Boots




Size 8
I usually wear a 7.5/8, and these fit perfectly.

From Matt Bernson:

Honestly, there are a few other brands that make a style similar to this guy. It is a Parisian inspired low-heeled bootie. But here is what you have with ours: the best of them all. The arched cut of the opening is so flattering - it makes all ankles look super skinny (we guarantee this statement; if your ankles do not appear 2" skinnier we will take them back, full refund). On many of the other booties we see out there the toe is really long and kind of bulbous. Ours is tapered and makes your foot look petite, not like some Salem Witch bootie that scares young children. There is no Western detail on the vamp (hi, it's cheesy) and the low cone heel is also better than those thick and heavy cowboy boot-style heels that are bulky and ugly. The heel height is just right at 3.25" - you can wear it all day, but it gives you the ability to strut like you are on a runway. Trust me, you will turn heads. And the extra special icing on top (as if you needed more)? This new version has an inside zipper and a 0.5" hidden platform. This cracked suede has a slight sheen to it and a cracked finish but not a distressed look. 

I love these boots! I actually love them so much that I'd be interested in a trade if anyone has the regular black suede instead of the cracked suede (both are sold out in a size 8 online). The cracked suede is very pretty and original, and more versatile. But I basically never dress up, and think I'd wear the regular suede more often. Anyway, a trade is a longshot. These boots retail for $218, I'm asking for $95. I've only worn these twice and they have no visible scuffs or scars. They're also a really good, high-quality alternative to the IM Dicker boot.
