Stylish Ilves ankle boots! The nice all-black ankle boots are not only comfortable and light on the foot but also nicely warm shoes with a wool lining. The ankle boots have a wide last, a slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe, and there is also plenty of room in height. The fit can be adjusted a lot by tightening or loosening the laces, and the soft leather also molds nicely. The model is easy to put on even a foot with a not high instep and not a low instep thanks to two openable zippers. Really nice ankle boots for many occasions!
Grip+ by Solepex soles: They grip and bite! The shoes are otherwise made in Portugal, but the soles suitable for the Finnish winter are designed and made in Kankaanpää. "The combination of hard and soft material guarantees superior grip and comfort in the footwear. Patterned surfaces and lamellae at different levels maximize friction in all directions. -- The soles bring technology and safety familiar from winter tires to northern conditions."

Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:
- Not a high instep and not a low instep
- A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
- A slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe
- Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
- In barefoot shoes, typically size 42, because there’s enough room for the toes
- Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
- Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm
Maria's foot size 42 in this model was a good size. The length was just right because there was even too much width for Maria's foot. It didn't pinch anywhere! There was plenty of room for Maria's foot, though tightening the laces and using an insole would make the shoe fit the foot better. Lovely soft and light shoes!
