Pepe Menargues 21651 Leather Ankle Boot with Front Zip for Women
This Pepe Menargues ankle boot (model 21651) is a women's leather boot that stands out for its striking metal zip on the vamp, a side elastic panel that makes it easy to put on, and a track sole with a pronounced tread. The result is an ankle boot full of character, available in two very versatile colours, moka and black, making it one of the most recognisable models in Calzados Vesga's range of women's ankle boots.
It's genuinely for you if you're looking for an ankle boot that's a bit different from the usual, with a distinctive design detail in the front zip, and with the ease of putting on and taking off that the side elastic panel provides, without giving up a quality leather finish.
Design and materials
The Pepe Menargues 21651 ankle boot is made from quality leather with a natural finish, available in moka and black. The most distinctive feature of its design is the metal zip on the vamp, which runs down the front of the boot from the shaft to the toe, adding a point of originality compared to a conventional boot with a side zip.
On both sides of the shaft it features an elastic panel that considerably eases putting on and taking off, flexibly adapting to different leg volumes without needing to handle the front zip too much. This elastic panel, in a tone slightly different from the main leather, also adds a small visual contrast that enriches the design.
At the back of the shaft sits a small tab with the brand's logo, a discreet detail that adds a distinctive touch to the whole. The interior is lined with textile, a material that helps maintain a pleasant feeling during everyday use.
The sole, a track-style design with a pronounced tread very typical of current trends, comes in a tone that matches the leather colour in each version, adding visual continuity to the boot's design.
Comfort and fit
This model's track sole incorporates a slight wedge that adds a moderate touch of height without sacrificing stability. Its pronounced tread, quite similar to a hiking sole, offers notable grip when walking on varied surfaces, both on city pavement and on more uneven ground.
The side elastic panel, besides making it easier to put on, contributes to the boot's overall comfort, as it adapts to the leg without creating pressure points and allows some room for movement during everyday use.
The interior textile lining improves the feeling of comfort from the very first hours of wear, while the quality leather on the outside gradually moulds to the shape of the foot over the following days, offering an increasingly personalised fit.
How to style it
Both the moka and black colours of this ankle boot are very versatile tones that go with most items in an autumn and winter wardrobe. Moka adds a warm, slightly more casual touch, while black is more understated and easy to pair with both casual and slightly smarter looks.
Thanks to its sturdy sole and exposed zip design, this ankle boot works especially well with casual, relaxed outfits: straight-leg or mom-fit jeans, cargo trousers, midi skirts with tights underneath on colder days, or knit dresses paired with long coats. It can also be paired with chunky knit jumpers and parkas, creating a comfortable outfit with plenty of urban style.
The front zip detail adds a distinctive touch that allows this ankle boot to be worked into looks with a bit of personality, while remaining a practical piece for everyday wear.
When to wear it
Thanks to its comfort and sturdy sole, the Pepe Menargues 21651 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 leather 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, such as a family lunch or a weekend getaway.
A boot built for the whole day
One of the most valued aspects of this model is the consistent comfort it offers from the first hour of wear to the last. The side elastic panel avoids the rubbing that sometimes appears with more rigid leather boots, while the track sole, with its pronounced tread, maintains good cushioning even on days spent walking a lot.
The combination of quality leather, elastic panel and sturdy sole makes this ankle boot a piece designed to keep pace with the day-to-day without comfort suffering as the hours go by.
Our opinion at Calzados Vesga
We particularly like the front zip detail on this ankle boot: it's a design element that adds personality without being excessive, and which also serves a practical purpose thanks to the side elastic panel that makes it easier to put on. It's a model we recommend to anyone looking for an ankle boot with a bit of a difference, while remaining a versatile piece for everyday wear.
The track sole, meanwhile, strikes us as a win both aesthetically and functionally: it gives the whole a contemporary look and guarantees good grip in the most typical autumn and winter conditions.

It's best to avoid prolonged contact with water and let the boot dry naturally, away from direct heat sources, if it gets wet at any point.
The side elastic panel can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive products that could damage its elasticity. The front zip should be kept free of dirt to ensure smooth operation throughout the boot's useful life.
