Ankle boots - red leather, block sole

Cool Andrea Contin leather ankle boots! These lovely, vibrant red combat boots are made of very soft leather and feel comfortable on. The lighter stripe running around the otherwise dark brown sole adds a nice edge to the look. The boots have a wide fit, and you can adjust them quite a bit by tightening or loosening the laces; the soft leather also molds comfortably to the foot. There are zippers on the inside for easy dressing. Really lovely boots for all kinds of 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 😊
• 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 style fit Maria well in width. It felt a little short in length, with her toes almost at the end. Size 42 felt comfortably snug on Maria’s foot, and the leather would surely have stretched a little too. However, because of the length, Maria would choose size 43; tightening the laces and adding an insole would make the next size fit comfortably. Lovely combat boots!
