What it is
The Igi&Co 21567 is a women's suede trainer in black built with a Gore-Tex membrane, the technology that keeps a shoe waterproof without stopping it from breathing. It fastens with a side zip, so there's no need to undo the laces every time you put it on or take it off, and the textile-and-leather lining makes it comfortable from the first walk.
It's built for anyone who wants a daily trainer that shrugs off rain, puddles and wet pavements without having to switch shoes depending on the forecast. It looks like an ordinary urban trainer, with a chunky-tread rubber sole and a bit of platform, not like a hiking boot, so it pairs with jeans or casual trousers without looking out of place in the city.
Compared with a suede trainer without a membrane, the 21567 adds the peace of mind of knowing your foot stays dry even in the rain — genuinely useful anywhere with a proper wet season. Compared with a rubber rain boot, it wins on being wearable year-round without looking like dedicated rain gear.
At Calzados Vesga it's one of the Gore-Tex trainers we recommend most for autumn and winter: the zip-and-lace fastening, the size 37 to 40 fit, and the black suede finish make it easy to work into the rest of your wardrobe without giving up waterproofing.
Everything you need to know
Overview
The 21567 belongs to Igi&Co's Gore-Tex range, an Italian brand that specialises in comfortable footwear with weatherproofing technology. It's a low-top women's trainer with a combined side-zip and lace fastening.
Design and style
The black suede is a classic, safe bet — the shade that never goes out of style and works with anything already in your wardrobe. The rubber sole, with a pronounced lugged tread and a bit of platform, gives it a sturdier look than a flat, ordinary trainer.
Materials and finish
The upper is suede, with a textile-and-leather lining and a removable insole. Between those layers sits the Gore-Tex membrane, which keeps water out while letting moisture vapour from the foot escape, avoiding the clammy, plastic-bag feel of a poorly ventilated waterproof shoe.
Comfort for everyday wear
The side zip is convenient for putting the shoe on, but it doesn't replace the laces — the two systems work together, so you can adjust the fit with the laces and use the zip just for everyday convenience. The removable insole also makes room for an orthotic if you need one.
When to wear it
Everyday autumn and winter use, rain or shine: commuting, errands, walking in bad weather. It isn't a summer shoe or built for high-intensity sport, though the lugged sole copes well with mixed terrain.
How to style it
Black works with absolutely everything, no exceptions, from jeans to smarter trousers, making it the more versatile of the two. It does show dust and rain splashes a touch more readily than a dark brown like testa di moro.
Our take at Calzados Vesga
We recommend it to anyone asking for a daily trainer that doesn't depend on the weather forecast: no need to switch shoes if it starts raining halfway through the morning. Combining Gore-Tex with an ordinary trainer look, rather than a technical boot look, is what customers value most about this model.
Before you decide
Common questions before buying
The most common question is whether Gore-Tex feels hot indoors: the membrane breathes, so it doesn't run any warmer than an ordinary trainer for everyday wear.
It might not be for you if…
…you want a maximally breathable summer trainer or sandal: Gore-Tex, while breathable, is built mainly to keep water out, not for extreme heat.
It'll suit you perfectly if…
…you live somewhere with frequent rain and want a daily trainer you don't need to swap for a rain boot the moment it clouds over.
Compared with similar options…
Against a suede trainer with no membrane, the 21567 wins on protection from water; against a rubber rain boot, it wins on being wearable all year without looking like dedicated wet-weather gear.

Size guide
The Igi&Co 21567 is available from size 37 to 40 (EU). If you're torn between two sizes, keep in mind the Gore-Tex lining takes up slightly more room than an ordinary textile lining, so many customers stick with their usual size and adjust the fit with the laces rather than sizing up.
FAQ
Do these run small or large?
They follow standard women's sizing: order your usual size, and use the laces to fine-tune the fit if the Gore-Tex lining feels snug.
Are they comfortable all day?
Yes — the removable insole and the textile-and-leather lining make them suitable for long days.
Can I wear them in the rain?
That's exactly what they're built for: the Gore-Tex membrane keeps water out while letting the foot breathe.
How do I clean them?
Use a suede brush and suede-specific cleaning products; avoid soaking them when cleaning, even though the Gore-Tex protects from the inside.
What size should I order if I have a wide foot?
We'd suggest your usual size, since the combined lace-and-zip fastening lets you adjust the fit without sizing up.
