Ankle boots - soft silver-tone leather, low black sole

Those Andrea Conti leather ankle boots are so stylish! The metallic-dyed leather has a gorgeous silvery hue! The shade is more of a "dark silver," also known as gunmetal. These wonderfully simple yet elegant combat boots are made of very soft leather and feel comfortable on the feet. A light brown stripe around the brown sole adds a nice edge to the look. The ankle boots have a wide fit and a somewhat rounded toe, and the soft leather molds comfortably to your feet. There’s a zipper on the inside for easy entry, and the laces let you adjust the fit nicely. Really lovely ankle boots for all kinds of occasions!

Tip: This is a great style because it suits many different kinds of feet! The same style works for both Sanna, who has narrower feet, and Maria, who has wider feet. And it feels really good on both of them! Sanna can tighten the fit with the laces, while Maria can loosen them.

The merchant sisters have even given this style the title of Hit Combat Boots! It’s such a popular style, and Bellissima has sold lots and lots and lots of them in many different colors. 😊

• Width: Fits both medium-width G and wider H feet
• Upper material: Leather
• Lining material: Leather, textile
• Removable insole: Yes
• Tex membrane: No
• Heel height: 2.5 cm
• Sole thickness under the ball of the foot: 1.5 cm

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: 26.5 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot: 11 cm

Size 42 in this style fit Maria well in width. It felt a little short in length, with her toes almost touching the end. Size 42 felt snug but comfortable on Maria’s foot, and the leather would surely have stretched a little. Because of the length, however, Maria would choose size 43; tightening the laces and adding an insole would make the next size up fit comfortably. Lovely combat boots!

Sanna the merchant’s narrow/medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• The toes form a gentle diagonal line – the tips go in "length order" 😊
• Usually wears size 40, sometimes 39 or 41 depending on the model
• Slightly narrow F width or medium G width
• Length of the longer foot: 25.2 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot: 9.8 cm

Size 40 is just right for Sanna. This has become Sanna’s favorite style, and she owns these combat boots in two colors. 😊
