Sunni Atlas 069 Ankle Boot: winter warmth with trainer comfort
Every cold season brings the same dilemma: choose a warm ankle boot, usually stiff and heavy, or a comfortable trainer that offers no protection from the cold. The Sunni Atlas 069 Ankle Boot solves that dilemma by combining both worlds in a single design: the warmth of a shearling collar and the lightness and flexibility of a sneaker-style sole.
The style is available in two colourways with their own character: leather, in camel and brown tones that bring visual warmth, and olive, a muted green that's somewhat more discreet and easier to pair with cooler-toned pieces. Both share the same construction and the same level of handcrafted detail.
Design and styling details
The Atlas 069 is built on a moc-toe front, with visible stitching running around the toe that gives it a handcrafted look very much in line with current casual footwear trends. The vamp combines smooth leather and suede in a play of textures that adds visual depth to the design, while the closure is handled with laces that let you adjust the fit around the foot precisely.
The style's most distinctive feature is, without question, the synthetic shearling collar peeking out at the top of the shaft, adding a contrast of texture and colour that visually softens the whole design and brings real extra warmth to the ankle area, one of the most cold-sensitive parts of the foot.
Materials: leather, suede and shearling
The Atlas 069's upper combines quality leather and suede, two natural materials that bring durability and a distinct look depending on where they're applied on the boot. The synthetic shearling collar adds a noticeable layer of thermal insulation on the coldest days, without the weight or upkeep that a natural shearling lining would require.
The synthetic sole has been designed with the same approach as a trainer: lightness, flexibility when the foot bends, and a flat base that makes walking normally easy, even over long distances — something more traditional winter boots with stiff soles don't always offer.
Comfort: the sneaker sole that changes the winter boot
The Atlas 069's biggest difference from a conventional winter boot lies in its sole. By applying the design and materials of a trainer sole to a boot with a shearling collar, Sunni achieves footwear you can wear all day without the weight and stiffness typical of classic winter boots. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone who wants protection from the cold without sacrificing walking comfort.
The lace-up closure also lets you adjust the fit around the width of your foot and ankle, particularly useful in footwear usually worn with thick socks or tights during the colder months.
When to wear it: cold weather with style
The Sunni Atlas 069 Ankle Boot is built for everyday wear during autumn and winter: it works with any cut of jeans, with a skirt and thick tights, or with wide corduroy trousers, always adding a touch of visual warmth thanks to the shearling contrast. It's not a boot for formal contexts, but it fits perfectly into daily life, whether for work, errands or walks on cold days.
Its lightweight sole also makes it a good choice for anyone who walks a lot during the day, something a traditional stiff-soled ankle boot doesn't always allow with the same comfort.
How to style the Sunni Atlas 069
In leather, this ankle boot pairs especially well with earth tones, mustard and off-white, as well as dark jeans for warm contrast. In olive, its more muted tone makes it easy to pair with grey, navy and beige, making it somewhat more versatile for a neutral winter wardrobe. In both cases, a chunky knit jumper and a scarf complete the cold-season look perfectly.
For an everyday look, we recommend pairing either colourway with straight-leg jeans and a long coat; for a more feminine take, a midi skirt with thick tights and this ankle boot form a very flattering combination for the colder months.
Caring for the Atlas 069
To keep the Atlas 069 in good condition, wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth and brush the suede with a suede-specific brush, in the direction of the nap. The synthetic shearling collar can be brushed gently to keep its volume and texture, avoiding prolonged contact with water so it doesn't lose its original look.
It's worth applying a protective spray specific to leather and suede before the first wear, especially if the boot will be exposed to rain or snow, and storing it with shoe trees when not in use to help it keep its shape.
Size guide
The Sunni Atlas 069 is available in sizes 36 to 41. The last runs true to size, so we recommend ordering your usual size, bearing in mind that if you plan to wear thick socks or tights, it may be worth checking with our team before deciding. If you're torn between two sizes, our customer service team is available to advise before you place your order.

The Sunni brand: a mix of materials and textures
Sunni is a brand built around designs with real personality, combining materials and textures in unconventional ways to create footwear that stands apart from the more generic offer on the market. The Atlas 069 is a great example of this philosophy: leather, suede and shearling coexist in a single design on a sole built for everyday comfort.
Durability and value for money
Investing in well-made leather and suede footwear pays off over time compared with accumulating short-lived synthetic pairs. The materials used in the Atlas 069, properly cared for, keep their good looks across several seasons, and the lightweight sole is built to withstand daily use without losing comfort.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between leather and olive? Both share the same design and materials; leather is a warm camel-brown tone and olive a more muted, discreet and versatile green.
Is it comfortable for walking all day? Yes, the sneaker-style sole is far lighter and more flexible than that of a traditional winter ankle boot.
Does the shearling collar actually keep you warm? Yes, it provides real thermal insulation around the ankle, though it doesn't replace thick socks on very cold days.
What size should I choose if I'll wear thick tights? We recommend checking with our customer service team, as this can affect the choice between two sizes.
A word on sizing across markets
The Sunni Atlas 069 is cut on a European last (sizes 36-41). If you usually shop UK or US sizing, our size guide converts these to your local scale — get in touch with our team if you're unsure, and we'll help you land on the right fit before you order.
Two colours, one character
Offering the same style in leather and olive lets each customer choose the tone that best fits their winter wardrobe without giving up the Atlas 069's distinctive design. Leather is warmer and works especially well in earthy, autumnal looks, while olive, cooler and more muted, blends more easily into a wardrobe built around greys, navy and denim.
