The Pepe Menargues 21634 are women's sock-style ankle boots, with a stretch shaft, leather at the toe and heel, a crossing elastic band and a side zip. We selected them at Calzados Vesga because they join a comfortable fit, almost like a sneaker's, with the look of an ankle boot: made for everyday wear, work and walks in the cold months. They are available in Black and in Taupe.

A sock-style ankle boot for every day
A good women's ankle boot has to hold the ankle, be comfortable from the first step and go on without fuss. The 21634 manages this with a stretch fabric shaft that adapts to the ankle, a leather toe and heel that give structure and a crossing elastic band that adjusts the instep. The side zip lets you put them on in seconds.
The light, flexible sole, with a non-slip tread, gives a stable, natural stride and leaves a low, clean profile.
It is a logical option if you want a comfortable, easy-to-wear ankle boot for autumn and a mild winter, with a more refined air than a sneaker.
Design and style: Black and Taupe
Black is restrained and versatile, with the leather and the fabric in the same shade, and goes with any wardrobe. Taupe plays with a dark brown fabric shaft, leather in a warm taupe and a chocolate-toned sole, and goes with beiges, greens, navy and earth tones. In both colours, a small brand label marks the detail on the side.
The silhouette is low and compact, with a rounded toe, a crossing elastic band that is the most recognisable element and a shaft that hugs the leg like a sock.
Materials and finish
The outer combines smooth leather at the toe and heel with a suede-look stretch fabric on the shaft and instep. The inner lining is textile and the insole adds comfort. The sole is light, flexible rubber.
The side zip is metal and is complemented by a rear pull tab to help put them on.
How to choose a sock-style ankle boot
When choosing a sock-style ankle boot, look at the stretch of the shaft, the material, the sole and the closure. A stretch shaft adapts to the ankle and to different leg widths. Leather at the toe and heel gives structure and protection. A light sole reduces tiredness. And a side zip makes them easy to put on without forcing the shaft.
The 21634 brings these points together in a comfortable design that is easy to style.
Everyday comfort
The comfort of an ankle boot shows in three things: that it does not squeeze, that it holds the heel well and that it is easy to put on and take off. The 21634 has a comfort insole, a textile lining, a stretch shaft and a light sole, so you walk naturally all day.
A practical tip: if you have a high instep or wear thick socks, try half a size up. With fine tights, your usual size will be right. As well as whole sizes, there are half sizes (39.5 and 41.5) to fine-tune the fit.
When to wear them
For everyday wear, the smart-casual office, city walks, travel and the autumn, mild winter and spring months, or for anyone who wants a comfortable ankle boot that is easy to put on.
They are not mountain or snow footwear: they have no waterproof membrane and the sole is light. For heavy rain, snow or uneven ground, specific footwear is better.
How to style them
With straight or skinny jeans, corduroy trousers, leggings, midi skirts, knitted dresses or a long coat. Black goes with almost everything; Taupe goes with beiges, greens, navy and earth tones.
Tips for use and care
Clean the leather with a damp cloth and apply a nourishing cream from time to time to keep it flexible. Brush the stretch fabric dry with a soft brush. If they get wet, let them dry in the air, away from heat sources, with newspaper inside. Alternate two pairs of shoes if you wear them daily so the lining dries completely between uses.
Size guide
The model comes in EU 35 to 43, with a standard fit: neither especially small nor especially large, and with half sizes 39.5 and 41.5. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one, above all if you have a high instep. Approximate UK equivalents: EU 35 is about UK 2.5, EU 36 about UK 3.5, EU 37 about UK 4, EU 38 about UK 5, EU 39 about UK 6, EU 40 about UK 6.5, EU 41 about UK 7.5, EU 42 about UK 8 and EU 43 about UK 9; they are indicative only and vary between makers.

Care and maintenance
- Clean the leather with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft cloth.
- Apply a leather cream from time to time to keep it flexible.
- Let them dry at room temperature, with newspaper inside and away from radiators.
- Do not put them in the washing machine or the dryer, which damage the leather, the bonding and the stretch shaft.
With these basic steps, the ankle boot keeps its look for a long time.
Our verdict at Calzados Vesga
We think it is a smart buy for anyone who wants a comfortable, light ankle boot that is easy to put on. Its strengths are the stretch shaft and the light sole; its limit is that it has no waterproof membrane and that the low sole cushions less than a thick one.
