Health shoe ankle boots with straps - black leather, very wide fit

Fine Ilves ankle boots! The stylish, completely black ankle boots are not only comfortable and light on the foot but also pleasantly warm shoes with a wool lining. The ankle boots have a very wide last, a rounded toe, and plenty of room in height as well. By adjusting the straps, the fit can be well tailored; additionally, the soft leather molds comfortably. The model is easy to put on even a foot with a higher instep thanks to the long-opening hook-and-loop fasteners. Really nice ankle boots for many occasions!

According to the Ilves brand: "Ilves health shoes are Finnish-designed and made from high-quality soft leather. The special construction of the shoes supports the foot’s arch while preventing painful bone spurs from forming. The upper, adjustable with straps, makes it easier to put on for feet with a high instep or swelling."

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 felt slightly short on Maria’s foot. If you are considering between two sizes, it might be good to choose the larger size because of the length. In this very wide and spacious model, the width was too much for Maria’s foot. The feel on the foot was nicely soft, and they are also light shoes!
