Alexa: black leather ankle boots for women with two side zippers
Alexa is a pair of black leather ankle boots for women with a distinctive biker inspired silhouette. The shaft that rises above the ankle, front lacing, two side zippers, metal hardware and a heel strap with a buckle create a style for everyday urban outfits with a bolder character.
Natural Crazy Horse leather with a pull up effect
The approximately 16 cm shaft is made entirely from natural Crazy Horse cowhide leather. Its waxed pull up finish can develop lighter marks, local tonal variations and subtle scuffs as the leather bends and is worn.
Over time, the leather develops an individual patina. Differences in colour intensity and the visibility of the pull up effect are natural characteristics of the material, not leather defects.
Lacing and two side zippers
Front lacing allows you to adjust the fit around the instep and midfoot. The zippers placed on both sides of the shaft make the boots easier to put on and take off without fully unlacing them each time.
Metal eyelets and hooks at the top of the lacing emphasise the model’s bold line.
Heel buckle strap and cap toe stitching
The leather strap with a metal buckle runs around the back of the shaft and highlights the heel line. It is primarily a styling detail. The lacing adjusts the fit, while the side zippers make the boots easier to put on for everyday wear.
Cap toe stitching visually separates the front of the boot and highlights the line of the rounded toe. It does not indicate a metal or protective toe cap.
TR outsole with a deep lug tread
The black outsole is made from TR, or thermoplastic rubber. It has a distinct heel block and a deep lug tread with wide grooves at the forefoot and heel.
The outsole is approximately 1.5 cm thick at the forefoot and approximately 3.5 cm high at the heel. It is cemented to the upper.
Leather interior and choosing your size
The lining and insole surface are made from natural pig leather. The model has standard width, standard instep room and standard space in the toe area.
According to the current specification, Alexa runs true to size. Before choosing your size, check the insole lengths in the size guide and compare them with an insole from footwear that fits you well.
Natural leather may need a short break in period at first. It will not correct an unsuitable length or width.
How to style Alexa ankle boots
Alexa works best with biker, urban and casual outfits. Wear them with black or dark blue jeans, a knitted dress, opaque tights, a simple T shirt, a leather jacket or a heavier coat.
Black, graphite, burgundy, navy and beige work well with the black leather and metal details. The pronounced tread, lacing and buckle strap mean this is not a model for classic formal outfits.
Caring for Crazy Horse leather
Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft brush or a clean, dry cloth. For light marks, use a well wrung, slightly damp cloth only on the affected area. Do not soak the entire leather surface.
Use a small amount of colourless products made for Crazy Horse, waxed or oiled leather. Always test a product on a discreet area first, as it can change the colour and the visibility of the pull up effect. Waterproofing can limit moisture absorption but does not make the boots fully waterproof.
