Beautiful Ilves ankle boots with a low block heel! The nice all-black ankle boots are not only comfortable and light on the feet but also nicely warm shoes with a thin 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 volume in height. By tightening or loosening the laces, the fit can be adjusted a lot, and the soft leather also molds nicely. There are zippers on the inner sides for putting them on. Lovely nice ankle boots for many occasions!
Grip+ by Solepex soles: Holds and bites! The shoes are otherwise made in Portugal, but the soles suitable for the Finnish winter are designed and manufactured 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 26.5 cm
- Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm
Maria's choice from this model would be size 42. Maria's foot already had a comfortably wide last, and the length was just right. The laces can be nicely adjusted, tightened, and loosened for fit. The ankle opening is wide, providing at least enough room for Maria's ankles. Absolutely wonderfully feeling shoes and so good-looking!
