Product Insights
Ilona Angled Heel Leather Pumps Women Women's black pointed-toe pump with a 5 cm (2 in) angled block heel, offered in EU sizes 36–41. Built on a narrow pointed last; average-to-narrow forefeet fit best, while wider feet may need to size up or pass. The 5 cm angled block heel is low and broad enough to keep weight centred, making pavement and stairs less precarious than a stiletto. Treat before first wear with neutral shoe cream and protector; clean with damp cloth or foam, blot rain, dry away from heat, and wipe salt immediately. At 240 CAD, the leather upper, leather lining, padded leather footbed and TPU outsole give strong material value for a low-heeled pump.
Verified claims
- overview
- Women's black pointed-toe pump with a 5 cm (2 in) angled block heel, offered in EU sizes 36–41.
- materials
- Cow leather upper; chrome-free-tanned cow leather insole and lining; TPU outer sole.
- construction
- Leather-padded footbed, leather lining, narrow pointed opening and textured TPU outsole.
- design
- Smooth black leather with a low-sheen grain, V-cut vamp, rear seam, visible topstitching and embossed VAGABOND branding.
- leather sourcing
- LWG-certified leather sourcing applies to the tannery, not the finished pump; it does not make the product 'sustainable' or 'eco-friendly'.
- tanning
- The insole and lining use chrome-free tanning, a less common method than chrome tanning.
- fit
- Reported true to size, with most owners keeping their usual size.
- fit
- Built on a narrow pointed last; average-to-narrow forefeet fit best, while wider feet may need to size up or pass.
- sizing
- US 7 maps to EU 37; EU 38 covers roughly US 7.5–8; measure foot length in centimetres before ordering.
- variant selection
- EU 36 and 41 are terminal sizes with no adjacent in-stock size to fall back on.
- color
- Only the Black colourway is offered across the six sizes.
- pricing
- All sizes 36–41 are listed at 240 CAD, so sizing up as a fit hedge costs nothing extra.
- heel
- The 5 cm angled block heel is low and broad enough to keep weight centred, making pavement and stairs less precarious than a stiletto.
- toe
- The narrow pointed toe leaves less room for toes to spread and grip, which is the main stability trade-off.
- outsole
- Textured TPU outsole brings flexibility, durability, abrasion resistance and slip resistance.
- lining
- Leather lining absorbs foot sweat and releases it, buffering moisture rather than only ventilating.
- break-in
- Expect a short break-in; smooth leather softens and adapts, but the pointed toe will not gain width.
- care
- Treat before first wear with neutral shoe cream and protector; clean with damp cloth or foam, blot rain, dry away from heat, and wipe salt immediately.
- styling
- A black pointed low-block pump that works for office, occasion and smart-casual dressing.
- value
- At 240 CAD, the leather upper, leather lining, padded leather footbed and TPU outsole give strong material value for a low-heeled pump.
- comparison
- This smooth-leather Ilona fits more forgivingly than a patent-leather version of the same design; Vagabond fit can vary by construction and material.

Compared within this brand.
| Ilona Angled Heel Leather Pumps Women: Choose this if you want a black leather pump with a sharply pointed toe, low V-cut vamp, and a distinctive angled block heel at 5 cm (about 2 inches) tall. It has a cow leather upper certified by the Leather Working Group, a chrome-free tanned leather lining and insole with a padded footbed, and a textured TPU outsole. The look is smooth and slightly glossy with visible single-line stitching along the vamp edge.[1,2,3] | Cherry Leather Piper Block-Heel Mule Women: Choose this if you want a leather block-heel mule with a moderate 1.75-inch (4.5 cm) heel, a cushioned leather insole, and an LWG-certified cow leather upper in cherry. It fits true to size per one source, and the tunit outsole is flexible and wear-resistant, though it is a slip-on mule with an open square toe rather than a fully enclosed shoe.[4,5,6,7] | Black Leather Piper Block-Heel Sandal Women: Choose this if you want a black leather slide sandal with a low 45 mm (1.77 inch) cylindrical block heel, a single wide front strap, and an adjustable thin ankle strap with a metal buckle. The upper is LWG-certified cow leather with faux-leather details, the cushioned insole and lining are chrome-free goat leather, and the thunit outer sole is described as abrasion-proof. Note that it is a dress slide sandal with an open square toe, so it suits warmer-weather or dressier wear rather than closed-shoe needs.[8,9,10,11,12,13,14] |
