The world of nature is waking up. The clocks jump ahead, and as we lose an hour, we leave winter behind along with it. It’s a fair trade!

Pair them with a maxi skirt or your favourite jeans. Surprise yourself with how much fun they they are when matched with a cute sundress, how sassy with a simple pair of leggings. Made with genuine cowhide suede, Dancer Ankle Boots have been crafted with an array of intricate details: an embroidered cuff with pinked edges, a moc-stitched toe, and a side zipper for a snug fit with easy on/off convenience. The uneven fringe is flirty and fun, adding visual interest and a sense of liveliness, and the durable rubber outsole features Manitobah’s signature Turtle Sole, designed by Cree artist Heather Endall. These rosy little ankle boots really do seem to dance! Spring is our annual reminder that the hard, cold months of winter are not forever.
