Chelsea ankle boots with thick sole - black suede leather, wide fit

Fine wide-fit ankle boots from Gabor! Black suede is always a stylish choice, and this model adds a small touch of golden sparkle to the wide elastic bands on the outer sides. A brown stripe runs around the rather thick sole, adding a bit of color to the otherwise black look. The insoles are removable and can be replaced with your own personal insoles if desired. Zippers on the inner sides make them easy to put on, and the wide fabric bands on the outer sides are also stretchy. The ankle boots are Gabor’s widest K last, offering a roomy fit. The shoes also feel nice on the foot, bringing trendy elegance to everyday wear!

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

Size 42.5 in this very wide K last model was even roomy on Maria’s foot! Maria’s choice would be size 42, as the length felt sufficient there as well. The width felt very comfortable in size 42, though the height was perhaps a little too much. With the help of an insole, the shoe could also be good for Maria in terms of height, as the insole would take up some space. A good model for wider and higher feet! Nice-feeling and beautiful shoes!
