Pikolinos Malaga ankle boots in tan

The Pikolinos Malaga ankle boots in tan are the kind you pull on in autumn and keep wearing until spring: a low shaft, a rounded toe and a block heel you can walk in all day.

Design and details

The smooth leather has a softly burnished finish, darker around the edges, which gives the tan colour real depth. Down the outer side runs a line of woven stitching in dark brown, and at the back there's a chocolate-brown panel that matches the trim on the heel. The small Pikolinos logo tab and a pull loop at the back finish it off.

Fit and comfort

An inside zip means they go on and come off without a struggle. The heel is low and broad, with a wood-effect finish, so it feels far steadier than a slim heel, whether you're walking round town or on your feet at work. The sole has a well-defined tread and a slim profile that keeps the boot looking neat.

How to wear them

Tan is one of the easiest shades to style. Wear them with straight-leg or skinny jeans, chinos, or a midi skirt or dress with tights. For everyday, pair them with a chunky knit and a trench coat; for something smarter, try tailored trousers in beige, camel or black. They also look great with autumnal greens and burgundy.

Care

To keep the colour rich, wipe the leather with a soft cloth and treat it now and then with a nourishing cream in a similar shade. If they get wet, let them dry naturally, away from radiators and direct sunlight, and store them with shoe trees or tissue paper so the shaft keeps its shape.
