Meghan Markle’s Go-To Boot Brand Just Dropped the Tortoiseshell Heeled Boot We’re Now Lusting Over

For couture, Meghan Markle looks to Givenchy. For heels, she’s all about Aquazzura. And for flats and boots, the 38-year-old Duchess of Sussex often looks to Sarah Flint to complete her outfit.

In our quest to embody Markle in the real world, we’ve become fans of Sarah Flint and are majorly lusting after the new Alexandra boot ($725) the brand introduced. (It’d look great on the Duchess of Sussex in our humble opinion).

As you’ll notice in the photo above, the boot is made of Italian stretch suede and features an inset tortoiseshell print patent-leather block heel. Now, suede boots are a dime a dozen, but have you ever seen some with such a gorgeous heel? The answer is no.

The suede forms to your calf while maintaining its shape and the block heel makes these pretty little things a lot easier to walk in. The Alexandra also has a no-slip grip rubber outsole so you can wear them in rain, sleet or snow (after spraying a protectant on that suede, of course) and a hidden interior zipper so that functionality doesn’t compromise the sleek shape of the boot.

We’re personally looking forward to wearing the black version of the Alexandra with a silk slip dress and a chunky oversize cardigan for a night out and the taupe version with skinny jeans or a floral skirt and an oatmeal-colored sweater—you know, typical fall outfits.

Hurry up, cold weather, these boots are giving us all the fall outfit inspo.
