Ankle boots with a grippy sole - dark red leather, wide fit

Stylish Ilves ankle boots! These gorgeous dark red ankle boots are not only comfortable and lightweight to wear, but also nice and warm with their wool lining. The ankle boots have a wide fit, a rounded toe, and plenty of room in height as well. You can adjust the fit quite a bit by tightening or loosening the laces, and the soft leather also molds comfortably to the foot. The model is easy to put on, even for a high-instep foot, thanks to two opening zippers. Really lovely ankle boots for all kinds of occasions!

Grip+ by Solepex soles: Grip and bite!

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 fit Maria's foot well. The length was more than enough, as it was even too wide for Maria's foot. It didn’t pinch anywhere! There was a lot of room for Maria's foot, though tightening the laces and adding an insole would help the shoes fit better. Lovely soft and lightweight shoes!
