Pepe Menargues 21634 Elastic Taupe Leather Ankle Boot for Women
This Pepe Menargues ankle boot (model 21634) combines a sock-style stretch fabric with taupe leather panels on the toe and heel, joined by crossed elastic bands and a thick cushioned sole. The result is an ankle boot with plenty of personality, updating the classic ankle boot design with a concept very typical of current trends, and one of the most distinctive models in Calzados Vesga's range of women's ankle boots.
It's genuinely for you if you're looking for a different kind of ankle boot, with a sock-style fit that's comfortable from the very first moment, and with a material contrast that gives it a distinctive edge over a conventional plain leather boot.
Design and materials
The Pepe Menargues 21634 ankle boot combines two very different construction materials: the dark brown stretch fabric wraps around the leg like a sock, moulding to its shape without needing laces or buckles. Over this fabric sit leather panels in taupe, placed on the toe and heel, which add durability in the areas of greatest wear and a more elegant finish.
The crossed elastic bands joining both materials at the instep are the design's most distinctive feature: besides their aesthetic role, they reinforce the boot's fit around the leg, holding the stretch fabric in place and giving it a very streamlined silhouette.
The fastening is via a zip on the side, a practical system that makes it easy to put on and take off without having to handle the stretch fabric, which already adapts loosely to the leg on its own.
The interior is lined with textile, a material that helps maintain a pleasant feeling during everyday use, complementing the comfort already provided by the outer stretch fabric itself.
Comfort and fit
This model's sole, thick and cushioned, adds a moderate touch of height along with noticeable cushioning with every step. This combination of thick sole and flexible upper materials means the boot, despite its striking look, is very comfortable to wear during long walks or extended periods of use.
The stretch fabric, by its very nature, adapts to different leg volumes without creating pressure points, which is particularly comfortable for anyone who prefers to avoid the more rigid fastenings of a conventional boot.
The sole, made from a hard-wearing material designed for everyday use, offers good grip on typical street surfaces, both indoors and outdoors, and keeps an appropriate flexibility to follow the foot's natural movement while walking.
How to style it
The taupe colour of the leather panels, combined with the dark brown tone of the stretch fabric, makes this ankle boot a very versatile piece for seasonal looks: it pairs naturally with jeans, leggings and knit trousers, and works especially well with neutral-toned garments such as beige, grey or brown in different shades.
Thanks to its thick sole and elastic design, this ankle boot works especially well with casual, relaxed outfits: straight-leg or mom-fit jeans, leggings, cargo trousers or midi skirts with tights underneath on colder days. It can also be paired with chunky knit jumpers, jackets or parkas, creating a comfortable, stylish outfit.
Although its character is mainly casual, the streamlined look provided by the sock-style fit also allows it to be worked into slightly smarter looks, pairing it with tailored trousers or knit dresses for everyday wear.
When to wear it
Thanks to its comfort and cushioned sole, the Pepe Menargues 21634 ankle boot is an excellent choice for everyday use: long walks around the city, work days that combine standing and walking, or simply day-to-day wear where you want footwear with personality without giving up comfort.
It's also a very suitable boot for autumn and winter, as the stretch fabric and textile lining help keep the foot protected from moderate cold, being a versatile option that works well with both everyday casual looks and slightly smarter outfits for special occasions.
A boot built for the whole day
One of the things that stands out most about this model is how consistent the comfort feels from the first hour of wear to the last. The sock-style fit, having no rigid seams or fastenings that press on the foot, adapts progressively to the leg, avoiding the rubbing and discomfort that sometimes appear with more structured leather boots after several hours of wear.
Our opinion at Calzados Vesga
We particularly like the concept of this ankle boot: combining a sock-style stretch fabric with hard-wearing leather panels at key points is a very clever solution that balances comfort and durability. It's a model we recommend to anyone looking for an ankle boot that's a bit different from the usual, with an original touch to the design but without sacrificing everyday comfort.
The crossed elastic bands, moreover, strike us as an aesthetic win: they add personality to the design without taking away from its sobriety, and visually reinforce the contrast between the boot's two main materials.
Size guide
The Pepe Menargues 21634 ankle boot is available at Calzados Vesga in sizes from 35 to 43, covering a very wide range to suit different leg and foot types. Being a model with stretch fabric, the fit tends to be more flexible than with a rigid leather boot, so we recommend ordering your usual size.
If you're unsure between two sizes, bear in mind that the stretch fabric offers some extra room to adapt to the foot and leg. In any case, if you have any doubts, our team in Burgos can advise you before you buy, comparing your usual size with the specific measurements of this model.

To keep this boot's stretch fabric looking its best, we recommend cleaning it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive products that could damage the material's elasticity.
