Technical Specifications

Overview: the leather zip ankle boot with a lug sole

The Pikolinos Medina is a women's leather ankle boot with a very clear approach: a low shaft, a low wide heel, a side zip with a leather pull and a rubber lug sole that gives a practical air. It is a shoe made for anyone looking for a comfortable, hard-wearing ankle boot with careful details.

It suits anyone who needs an everyday ankle boot that works as well for the city as for walks. It is not a technical shoe, but a casual clean-lined leather ankle boot.

Design and style: padded collar and gold details

The design rests on a smooth, clean leather, a low shaft with a padded collar with V-shaped stitched lines, a small gold stud on the heel and a side zip with a gold slider and a braided leather pull.

The low, wide heel and the lug sole keep a simple, practical line. In black the whole is monochrome; in tan, the heel has a stacked-wood look and the sole is sand-coloured.

Materials and finish

The outer is smooth-finish leather, a natural material that adapts to the foot with wear, keeps its shape and is easy to clean. The stitching looks clean and regular on the vamp, the collar and the heel.

The inside is light in colour, which gives a soft feel when putting them on, and the sole is rubber with a lug pattern that gives grip.

Two colours: black and tan

Black is the most versatile: it goes with any garment and gives the ankle boot a discreet, sober air, with a black sole and heel as well.

Tan is a warm, bright caramel brown with matching stitching, a wood-look heel and a sand sole; it goes with jeans, beige, cream, olive green and navy.

Everyday comfort

The comfort of this ankle boot rests on a low, wide heel that spreads the weight, a rubber sole that cushions the step, a rounded last that gives the toes room and a soft leather that adapts to the foot.

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

Low heel and lug sole

The heel of about 4 cm lifts the foot slightly and slims the leg without giving up stability. The lug sole grips on dry and damp ground and is the functional feature of the model.

It is a good shoe for walking all day, both around the city and on autumn and winter walks.

For which occasions

These are ankle boots for city life, a casual office, lunches, travel and the weekend. Their sturdy yet polished look makes them equally natural with jeans or a dress.

They are not waterproof. In heavy rain or very wet ground, a membrane shoe is better. For everyday use in autumn, spring and dry winter days they do the job comfortably.

How to wear them

With straight or slim jeans, the ankle boot shows in full and adds a casual feel. With a midi skirt or a dress it looks feminine, and with tailored trousers it looks modern. Black looks especially good with grey, beige, navy and burgundy.

On top, wool coats, leather jackets, parkas and 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 well-resolved leather ankle boot, with a comfortable heel, a sole with grip and discreet gold details that set it apart. It delivers what it promises as an everyday shoe.

For anyone who wants a comfortable, hard-wearing low-heel ankle boot, black is the most versatile option and tan the warmest.

Size guide and fit

The model comes in EU sizes 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and 41. 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.

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

Smooth leather needs simple care. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and apply a colourless or matching cream from time to time to keep it flexible and keep its colour. 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.
