Technical Specifications

Overview: the suede ankle boot with a fur lining and platform

The Ilse Jacobsen Calira01 is a women's suede ankle boot with a very clear approach: warmth, comfort and a relaxed Scandinavian air. It combines a low shaft, a collar with a fur lining, moccasin stitching, a side zip and a ribbed platform sole.

It suits anyone looking for a comfortable everyday ankle boot for autumn and winter that keeps the ankle warm and adds a touch of height. It is not a technical snow boot, but a casual ankle boot with plenty of personality.

Design and style: moccasin stitching and ribbed sole

The design rests on a smooth suede, a toe with moccasin stitching, a low collar with a cream fur lining that peeks outwards, a leather pull tab at the heel and a side zip with a metal slider and the brand logo.

The sole is the element that gives character: a ribbed rubber platform with vertical lines, which gives a fashionable air and lifts the foot. In grey it is honey-toned and in black it is black.

Materials and finish

The outer is suede, a material with a soft feel and a matt finish that adapts to the foot with wear. The stitching looks clean and regular on the toe, the side and the heel.

The collar has a fur lining that warms and softens the contact with the ankle. The sole is rubber with a ribbed pattern that gives grip and a very characteristic look.

Two colours: grey and black

Grey is a warm, elegant taupe, with a honey-toned sole that gives a very attractive contrast; it goes with cream, beige, brown, olive green and navy.

Black is the most versatile: it goes with any garment and gives the ankle boot a sober air, with a black sole too and the cream fur lining as the only contrast.

Everyday comfort

The comfort of this ankle boot rests on a light, flexible platform sole that cushions the step, a rounded last that gives the toes room and a soft suede that adapts to the foot. The fur lining at the collar warms without squeezing.

The side zip lets you put it on and take it off quickly. It is worth trying them on with the socks you will wear in winter.

Ribbed platform and fur lining

The ribbed platform sole lifts the foot a few centimetres without the weight of a solid sole, and its pattern grips on dry and damp ground. It is the feature that most identifies the model.

The fur lining at the collar adds warmth on cold days and a soft feel from the first moment. On warm days it may feel too warm.

For which occasions

These are ankle boots for everyday wear in autumn and winter, walks, travel and the weekend. Their relaxed air makes them very natural with casual clothes.

They are not waterproof and suede dislikes water. In heavy rain, snow or very wet ground, a membrane shoe is better.

How to wear them

With straight or wide-leg jeans, the ankle boot shows in full and adds a casual feel. With leggings and a long jumper it looks comfortable, and with a midi skirt or a knitted dress it looks modern. Grey goes with cream, beige, brown and olive green; black with grey, white, navy and burgundy.

On top, bomber jackets, parkas, wool coats and chunky knitted jumpers all work. For a complete look, match the ankle boots with a bag in a similar tone.

Our opinion at Calzados Vesga

Our verdict is very positive: it is a comfortable suede ankle boot with plenty of personality, with a fur lining that keeps you warm and a very light ribbed platform. It delivers what it promises as an everyday winter shoe.

For anyone who wants a warm, relaxed ankle boot with a touch of height, grey adds warmth and black is the most versatile option.

Size guide and fit

The model comes in EU sizes 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 39.5, 40, 41, 41.5, 42 and 43. The last is normal, with a round toe. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger, especially with a wide foot or thick socks, as the fur lining takes up some room.

To measure, stand with your heel against a wall, measure to your longest toe and leave 5 to 10 mm of room. That space stops the toes touching the end and lets the foot swell during the day. As the boot has a side zip, the instep should not be too tight.

Care and cleaning

Suede needs specific care. Brush it with a suede brush to remove dust and apply a protective spray before first wear. Marks are treated with a suede eraser. If they get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters.

Do not machine-wash the ankle boots or submerge them. Clean the sole with a brush and a damp cloth, and keep the zip clean. Store them with paper inside so they keep their shape.
