Pikolinos Alava W3J-8509C1 leather ankle boot in Seaweed

The Pikolinos Alava ankle boot in Seaweed is the kind of boot you end up reaching for most days: a deep olive green with subtle tonal shading, finished with tan trims and a chunky sole that gives it the feel of a high-top trainer. The manufacturer's code is W3J-8509C1.

Materials and comfort

The upper is smooth leather with a lightly burnished finish, and the heel is wrapped in a matching suede panel for a bit of texture. The tan leather collar is padded so it sits softly around the ankle. Visible stitching around the toe and a wavy caramel-coloured sole give it a relaxed, sturdy look without appearing heavy. Pikolinos lists it among its wide-fit styles, which is worth knowing if you like extra room across the front of the foot.

Fit

It fastens with matching laces through metal eyelets, plus a zip on the inner side. That means you can set the laces once and simply use the zip to get in and out, which is ideal if you're on the go. A pull tab at the back makes it even easier to put on, and the rounded toe leaves your toes room to move.

How to wear it

Seaweed green works almost like a neutral. Try it with blue or black jeans, stone or ecru chinos, or a midi skirt with opaque tights. On cooler days on the Costa del Sol, pair it with a chunky knit or a suede jacket for an easy outfit that takes you from a stroll along the seafront to the office or a day of errands. The tan details mean it sits nicely alongside brown bags and belts.
