The Alexander Wang Sylvie thigh-high heel is a lingerie-inspired shoe modeled after traditional hosiery. While the shoe sits on a 4" leather-wrapped heel, its sheer stocking material is what truly makes it stand out. The shoe's additional detailing is also made to mimic Cuban heel stockings known for thick toe and heel panels as well as a thin line that runs along the back of the leg.
Made in Italy, the Alexander Wang Sylvie thigh-high heel is a delicate alternative to traditional thigh-high boots or stocking and heel pairings. With actual hosiery attached to the shoe's structure, the accessory rejects the idea of practicality and instead embodies an over-the-top and luxury-minded point of view.
The product is guaranteed to make a statement and is sold alongside an ankle boot version with fishnet stocking detailing.
