The same combat boot, on a different base
The 1013 Double Platform from Calzados Vesga keeps the silhouette everyone recognises: seven pairs of eyelets, yellow stitching around the sole and a black leather upper. What changes is the base: a 3 cm front platform and a 4.5 cm heel, in place of the flat sole of the classic version of the same design.
That 1.5 cm difference between platform and heel is what sets the gait. This is not a high heel disguised as a combat boot, it is the same boot as always with more height split between front and back, so the way you walk does not change as much as the photo suggests.
Like the flat-sole model, it has a zip on the inner side: lace once, then get in and out by the zip. You will find it alongside the rest of our women's lace-up boots.
At a glance
- Why you will like it: more presence than the flat-sole version, without losing the convenience of a zip closure.

Everything you need to know
Design and style
Built on the same combat boot pattern as always: yellow stitching, reinforced toe and seven pairs of eyelets. The difference is obvious in the sole, considerably thicker than the classic version, with a 3 cm front platform that gives a sturdier profile without throwing off the boot's proportions.
Materials and finish
Leather upper, textile lining and a flexible synthetic outsole. It is a combination designed so the bulk of the double platform does not cost you comfort: the leather takes the daily wear, the textile lining breathes, and the sole, despite being taller, bends from day one. Made in Spain, with the quality control that implies when bonding a sole this thick.
Comfort day to day
The 4.5 cm heel over a 3 cm platform leaves a difference of just 1.5 cm between the front and back of the foot, far less than the total height suggests. That is why this boot feels more stable than it first appears, even on long days on your feet.
When to wear it
Autumn and winter, in town, a touch more presence than the flat-sole version. It works for everyday wear and for looks where you want the boot to stand out a little more without moving into high-heel territory. It is not hiking footwear and is not built for uneven ground.
How to wear it
With straight jeans, which is where the platform shows best without the hem hiding it completely, and with a midi skirt for a sharper contrast between the leg and the volume of the sole. If you prefer the same boot without the platform, we also carry the flat-sole version in women's footwear.
What we think at Calzados Vesga
This is our answer to customers who wanted the classic combat boot but with more volume in the sole, a look that has been gaining ground for a couple of seasons. That it is made in Spain is, for us, the strongest argument: on a shoe with this much sole, the bonding and finishing show.
Before you decide
The questions we get most: whether the platform costs stability, and whether the fit changes compared with the flat-sole version. On the first, the difference between platform and heel is small, so the gait barely changes. On the second, the last is the same: true to size.
Possibly not ideal if: you want a completely flat sole or plan to wear them on hill terrain.
A good fit for you if: you like the classic combat boot look but want more presence and Spanish manufacturing.
Compared with similar options: against the flat-sole version of the same model, this one gains in volume and visual presence without moving to a heel that needs breaking in.
