The Viguera 8284 is a women's ankle boot made from stretch lycra with a hydro suede membrane, designed to protect the foot from water without giving up the look and comfort of a seasonal boot. Its track-tread wedge sole adds stability and a flattering touch of height, resulting in a functional model for rainy days or damp cold. It's a practical alternative to conventional suede boots, which tend to deteriorate or stain easily when exposed to water. Many customers who live in rainy regions mention that having one reliable waterproof boot saves them from ruining a favourite suede pair every season. It is also available in black and moka, with the same hydro suede membrane and the same comfort features.

Design and style
The 8284 goes for a functional design without giving up the aesthetics of a seasonal boot. The hydro suede membrane reproduces the velvety look of traditional suede, but with water-repellent properties that make it far more practical for rainy days. The mid-to-high shaft offers generous coverage of the ankle and part of the calf, while the side zip makes daily wear easy without compromising the fit. This balance of function and style is exactly what sets this kind of technical footwear apart within the seasonal boot category.
Materials and construction
The textile outer material, with its hydro suede treatment, repels surface water and protects the foot from moisture on light rainy or slushy days, a feature not commonly found in conventional-looking boots. The inner lining, also textile, promotes foot breathability and avoids that internal damp feeling after several hours of wear. The sole, made of synthetic material with a distinct track-style tread, offers good grip on wet and slippery surfaces, while also providing the stability of a wedge compared with a thinner heel. This combination of materials makes the 8284 a robust option against moisture without sacrificing the lightness needed for prolonged daily use.
Everyday comfort
The padded, removable insole gradually moulds to the shape of the foot, offering a comfortable feel from the very first wear. The stretch fabric on the shaft moves with the natural motion of the ankle and lower leg without creating pressure points, while the wedge sole distributes weight evenly, aiding stability when walking on uneven or slippery surfaces. It's a design built for anyone who needs to get around safely in adverse weather conditions, without sacrificing foot comfort throughout the day.
When to wear it
The 8284 is particularly well suited to rainy days, light snow or high ambient humidity, situations in which the protection offered by the hydro suede membrane makes a real difference compared with a conventional boot. It's also a good option for everyday wear in cold climates, where comfortable footwear that combines function with a tidy look is what matters most. It's also useful for anyone walking through cities with rainy winters, where conventional footwear doesn't always offer enough protection.
How to style it
In taupe, this boot pairs naturally with jeans, knit trousers and midi skirts in neutral tones, making it a versatile choice for everyday autumn and winter wear. Its shaft height allows it to be worn with trousers as well as dresses and skirts, adapting to different styles without losing its protective function against water. It's a versatile staple that can become the go-to boot for the rainiest months of the year, without having to trade style for function.
Material care
To maintain the water-repellent properties of the hydro suede membrane, avoid prolonged contact with abrasive products and clean the surface with a damp cloth when needed, letting the boot dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Creams or oil-based products that could alter the material's water-repellent treatment are not recommended. Proper care noticeably extends the effectiveness of the hydro suede membrane over several seasons of use.
Size and fit guide
The Viguera 8284 runs true to standard sizing. If you have a wide foot or usually wear orthopaedic insoles, we recommend going up half a size for extra comfort during prolonged wear. The stretch fabric on the shaft offers some extra flexibility to adapt to different calf shapes without compromising the boot's overall fit. The 13.5 cm shaft also offers generous coverage against wind and rain, a feature especially valued during the coldest months.
Shipping and returns
Calzados Vesga ships within 24-48 working hours to mainland Spain. If the boot doesn't fit correctly, you have a return window to exchange the size at no extra cost, provided the product keeps its original packaging.
Calzados Vesga guarantee
All products sold by Calzados Vesga come with a two-year legal conformity guarantee against manufacturing defects. Our team checks every pair before shipping to make sure it arrives in perfect condition, reviewing both the correct function of the zip and the state of the water-repellent treatment. This additional quality check on the membrane is specific to technical models like the 8284. It's the kind of extra step that rarely gets noticed until the first heavy rain, when it makes all the difference. A five-minute check on the zip and membrane before it leaves the warehouse can save a customer from an unpleasant surprise weeks later. That final check is a small step that matters more than it might seem once the boot is actually out in the rain. It is, after all, the exact scenario this boot was designed to handle. Nothing about the design tries to hide that purpose, and that honesty is part of its appeal.

Durability
The combination of resistant stretch fabric and careful construction means the 8284 keeps its protective properties and look over several seasons of regular use, provided the basic care recommendations above are followed.
