Why this wooden ankle boot makes a difference in everyday use

A women's shoe silhouette tells a little story straight away: fashion, going out, looking forward to a new pair. Instead of searching for the right motif, you have a clear shape in your hand. It already looks good untreated. With every brushstroke, it becomes more your own. A crafting afternoon turns into something that really ends up in the shop window, on a gift or on the wall.

Material & finish

The ankle boot is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. It has the typical, lightly browned edge. This edge frames the silhouette and outlines the motif, so you don't need to trace anything. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can paint it, oil it or stick things on, as you need. As a natural material, every piece is unique. The grain can be lighter or darker, and small knots may occur. This is part of the nature of the wood and not a defect.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the ankle boot or stick things on it? Yes. The poplar plywood is untreated. You can paint it, oil it, stick things on or decorate it in other ways.

Why is there a brown border on the edge? The shape is laser-cut. This creates the typical, evenly browned edge, which also outlines the silhouette. The edges are smooth.

How big is the ankle boot at a given width? For reference: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 9 cm. The proportions stay the same across all sizes.

Do all pieces look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it shows different shades, grain patterns and small knots. Every piece is unique.
