Ankle boots - Snow, black leather

Gorgeous ankle boots from Vintro! The stylish black grain leather works wonderfully combined with the dark brown, thick ankle boot sole. The ankle boots are also pleasantly light, even though the sole is a bit thicker. There are zippers on the inner sides for putting them on, and the laces allow for good adjustment of the fit. They felt comfortable and light on the feet. Such lovely shoes for many outfits and occasions!

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 😊
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Size 42 felt just a little short in length on Maria’s foot. The toe is somewhat pointed, so it took up space from Maria's flipper-shaped toes. In terms of width at the ball of the foot, size 42 felt nicely snug, so it would stretch well in that regard. The last definition is therefore "F half," meaning something between a rather narrow F last and a medium-wide G last. Nice-feeling and very light shoes!
