Serilda: Geox's everyday combat-style ankle boot
The Geox D Serilda G (D46WYG) is a women's ankle boot with a softened combat-boot look built for daily wear: black leather, laces running up to the instep, and a side zip that solves the usual problem with this style of boot — how long they normally take to put on. No untying and retying here: the zip does the work, and the laces stay as a styling and fit detail.
This isn't a seasonal trend piece. The clean silhouette, rounded toe and plain black colourway make it something you'll keep reaching for, from straight-leg jeans to a midi skirt, whether you're heading into the office or out for the day.

- Best for: everyday wear through autumn and winter, work, city walking, and long days on your feet.
- Standout feature: the three-layer Respira breathability system and the reinforced heel counter.

- It might not be for you if: you're after a knee-high boot or a chunkier heel — this is a mid-shaft boot with a low heel.

Everything you need to know
Design and style
Serilda G borrows the language of the combat boot — tall laces, rounded toe, visible stitching on the shaft — and turns it into an ankle boot you can wear every day without it reading as costume. The leather pull-loop at the heel, originally a work-boot detail for easing the foot in, doubles here as a design touch that still does its job.
Materials and finish
The upper is 100% leather, with a smooth finish that ages well and takes polish or leather cream without losing colour. The lining mixes textile (60%) and synthetic material (40%): it keeps the foot dry without trapping as much heat as a fully synthetic lining would. The insole is removable and made from synthetic material, so it can be swapped for an orthotic insole if you need one.
All-day comfort
This is where Geox's Respira system comes in: a perforated three-layer sole membrane that lets the water vapour your foot generates while walking escape, without letting water in from outside. In practice, that's the difference between a boot that overheats after a few hours in a heated office and one that stays comfortable. The reinforced heel counter keeps the boot's shape over time and supports the ankle with every step.
When to wear them
This is an everyday boot rather than an occasion piece: office, errands, commuting, walking around town. The 3.5 cm heel gives a small lift without affecting stability, so it holds up well through several hours of standing or walking.
How to style them
Straight-leg or skinny jeans tucked in, a midi skirt with opaque tights in winter, or tailored trousers for an office look that's a little less predictable than the usual. The plain black works with pretty much any coat or blazer colour.
Our take at Calzados Vesga
This is a boot we'd call a wardrobe staple: not too classic, not so trend-driven it dates in a season. Based on feedback from customers who already own other Geox styles, the side zip is consistently one of the details people appreciate most with daily use.
Before you decide
Common questions before buying: the most frequent one is whether they run true to size — see the size guide below before choosing.
This might not be ideal if you're after a knee-high boot or a higher heel: this is a mid-shaft boot with a low heel.
It'll suit you perfectly if you want a genuine leather black ankle boot, comfortable enough for all-day wear, that goes on and off quickly thanks to the zip.
Compared with similar boots in synthetic leather, this model has the advantage of real leather and the Respira sole — both push the price up slightly, but you notice the difference in durability and breathability.

Size guide
The Geox D Serilda G runs from EU 35 to 42 (roughly UK 2.5 to 8). It fits true to size, neither noticeably small nor large, though with laces and a side zip the final fit is fine-tuned by how tight you lace it. As an approximate UK guide: EU 36 ≈ UK 3, EU 37 ≈ UK 4, EU 38 ≈ UK 5, EU 39 ≈ UK 6, EU 40 ≈ UK 6½, EU 41 ≈ UK 7 — treat this as a rough equivalence and check the brand's own size guide, since conversions vary slightly between manufacturers. If you're between two sizes, we'd recommend your usual size: the zip makes them easy to put on, and the laces let you fine-tune the fit across the instep.
FAQ
Do these run small or large?
They run true to size, in line with Geox's standard EU sizing.
Are they comfortable all day?
Yes. The Respira sole and reinforced heel counter are designed specifically for long days on your feet.
Can I wear them for a lot of walking or a job where I'm on my feet?
Yes — that's one of their strengths. The breathable sole and cushioned heel counter reduce fatigue over a long day.
How do I clean and care for them?
Being real leather, wipe with a damp cloth and apply colourless leather cream or polish every few weeks to keep the leather supple.
What size should I order if I have wide feet?
The laces let you leave a little extra room across the instep without affecting the overall fit; if your foot is noticeably wide, get in touch before ordering and we'll help confirm your size.
Summary
The Geox D Serilda G is a black leather ankle boot with a softened combat-boot look, built for women who want comfortable everyday footwear through autumn and winter. Its strength is the combination of laces and side zip, which speeds up putting them on, together with the breathable Respira sole that keeps feet comfortable through long days. At Calzados Vesga, we'd call it a versatile staple that holds up to a full working day.
If you like this style, our lace-up ankle boots for women section has similar styles, and the wider women's ankle boots category covers other shaft heights and finishes. For what's just landed in the shop, take a look at new arrivals.
Looking for something different
If you want even more comfort for covering long distances, a model with a light platform sole might suit you better. If you need something for a special occasion, this boot is too casual — look for a leather style with a dressier finish instead. If you want more ankle support, this boot already delivers that thanks to the reinforced heel counter and the 16.5 cm shaft.
Why buy it from Calzados Vesga
We've been selling footwear on Burgos's main square, in northern Spain, for over fifty years — a family shop where we've tried on, in person, a good part of what we sell online. We're not a marketplace reselling everything under the sun: we choose the brands and styles we know hold up to real use, and if you're unsure about size or fit, we'll advise you before and after you buy, the same way we would across the counter.
Shipping, returns and secure checkout
Delivery anywhere in Europe takes 4 to 6 working days. Shipping is charged by destination country and calculated at checkout. Returns from outside Spain are at the customer's expense. Checkout is secure, and if you're unsure about sizing before ordering, message us — we'll advise you the same way we would in store.
Is this your boot?
Yes, it's for you if you want a black leather ankle boot, comfortable enough for all-day wear, quick to put on and take off, that goes with what's already in your wardrobe. Maybe not, if you'd rather have a taller boot with a platform or a higher heel.
Final word
The Geox D Serilda G is built to outlast a single season, both in materials and in a design that isn't chasing a passing trend. Order with confidence — if the size isn't quite right, returns are straightforward.
