Pikolinos Daroca leather ankle boots in Cuero

The Pikolinos Daroca ankle boots in Cuero, a warm tan shade, are the kind of pair you reach for most days from autumn through to spring: smooth leather, a low heel and a clean shape that works with almost anything. They are made in Spain.

Design and details

The shaft sits just above the ankle and pairs smooth leather with a slightly darker, brushed-texture panel at the back. On the outer side, a slim leather tie threads through a metal eyelet and falls in a knot finished with two gold-tone tips, a subtle touch that adds interest without fuss. A small branded stud sits at the heel. The toe is rounded, and the leather has a soft burnished finish that develops character as it wears.

Fit and feel

An inside zip makes them quick to slip on and off, so there are no laces to deal with when you are heading out. The low, wide block heel gives you a bit of lift while keeping you steady on pavements, cobbles and long days on your feet.

How to wear them

The tan colour looks great with straight or skinny jeans, chinos and midi skirts with tights. It sits nicely alongside earthy tones, cream, navy, olive and grey. For the office, try them with cropped tailored trousers and a blazer; at the weekend, jeans and a chunky knit do the job.

Care

Wipe the smooth leather with a soft cloth and use a nourishing cream in a matching shade from time to time. Brush the textured panel with a suede brush and keep it away from water. If they get damp, let them dry naturally, away from radiators.
