Winter ankle boots with grippy friction sole - black leather, wide fit

Fine Ilves ankle boots! The stylish black ankle boots are not only comfortable and light on the feet, but also nicely warm shoes with a wool lining. Different black leathers alternate on the upper, and the dark laces have a nicely subtle reddish line. The ankle boots have a wide last, a slightly rounded toe box suits best, and there is also plenty of room in height. By tightening or loosening the laces, the fit can be adjusted quite a lot, and the soft leather also shapes comfortably. There are zippers on the inner sides to make putting them on easier. 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 have been designed and made in Kankaanpää. "The combination of hard and soft material guarantees the footwear superior grip and comfort. 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

Size 42 in this model was just right for Maria’s foot. The length was quite sufficient, the width at least enough, it didn’t pinch anywhere! There was quite a lot of roominess for Maria’s foot, of course the insole can make the shoe fit the foot better. Lovely shoes for winter outings!
