Pikolinos Viana W7C-8582C1 lace-up ankle boots in Ocean blue

The Pikolinos Viana ankle boots (W7C-8582C1) in Ocean take the look of a classic hiking boot and pair it with a sporty, trainer-style sole, making them an easy everyday choice for town. Navy leather is set off by a pale blue collar and a tan tongue finished with the brand's stitched leather patch.

Materials and comfort

The upper is cowhide leather with a subtly washed finish that gives the blue some depth, plus a matt panel around the heel. The padded collar sits softly round the ankle, so there's no rubbing. Inside you'll find a removable Memory Foam insole that cushions every step and can be swapped for your own orthotic if you wear one. The caramel-coloured sole has a chunky tread and a height of around 2 cm, so your foot stays almost flat.

Fit

Flat khaki laces run through metal speed hooks, just like on a walking boot, and there's a side zip so you can slip them on and off without untying anything. Set the laces once to suit your foot, then simply use the zip. Available in EU sizes 36 to 41.

How to wear them

They look great with straight or skinny jeans turned up at the hem to show off the pale blue collar, as well as with chinos or leggings and a chunky jumper. In spring and autumn, try them with a midi skirt and visible socks. These are boots for real life: the commute, a wander round Marbella old town or a weekend away when you don't want to overthink your outfit. Navy goes with almost everything, and the colour accents add a relaxed touch without being loud.
