WOMEN’S ANKLE BOOTS
As soon as the first cool days arrive, women’s ankle boots become the foundation shoe of the autumn-winter wardrobe. At Odaje, our leather boots and ankle boots are designed for everyday wear: a pair you can wear every day, season after season, without losing its good looks.
From the office to an evening with friends, every style in our selection of women’s boots is designed to stay comfortable from morning to night. Browse our collection of women’s ankle boots and boots and find the pair that will complete your wardrobe for the winter.
Odaje boots and ankle boots, season after season
Our collection of women’s ankle boots meets every need: flat styles for everyday, heeled ankle boots up to 7 cm for a more dressed-up outfit, and lined versions to face the winter. Whether you’re looking for an everyday shoe or a dressier piece, also discover our full selection of women’s shoes.
A long-lasting ankle boot is first of all a question of material. Our leathers and suedes are sourced in Italy, Spain and Portugal, then every pair is crafted in our Portuguese workshop.
It is also a question of construction. Most of our styles have a neolite outsole, a rubber compound known for its resistance to wear. All of them have a goat leather insole, more pleasant to wear than a synthetic one.
Our leather and suede ankle boots, from black to cognac
Our selection of leather ankle boots offers smooth leather, box leather and patent crinkled leather for outfits that call for a little more shine, as well as suede, also known as nubuck-style leather, and velvet for a softer, more autumnal touch.
Black remains the safe bet: black leather ankle boots have a place in any wardrobe and go as well with raw denim as with a midi dress.
Brown, cognac and camel bring a warmer touch, perfect with jeans and a knit sweater for a relaxed mid-season look. For a coordinated wardrobe, pair a pair of women’s brown ankle boots with a camel coat or a sweater in the same tones.
Burgundy and khaki, two on-trend shades this autumn, brighten up a more classic look for a season, with a midi skirt or wide-leg trousers in neutral tones. These colors come in leather as well as suede, on flat styles as well as heeled ankle boots.
Women’s boots for every style and every occasion
For the office, a heeled ankle boot like the Divo, in black or brown leather with its 7 cm heel, pairs with tailored trousers or a wrap dress. If you walk a lot, the Delina in black leather with its 4 cm heel offers a good compromise between style and comfort.
For the weekend, lace-up suede ankle boots like the Mara or the Dezi add a retro touch and are worn with wide-leg jeans or a midi skirt. Flat, the Pernille in brown suede accompanies your days from morning to night, with jeans as well as with a pleated skirt.
For an evening out, go for a heeled ankle boot in patent crinkled leather like the Tasmin, in burgundy or chocolate: its 6.4 cm heel elongates the silhouette and is worn with a flowing dress or pleated trousers.
When winter sets in, the Joelle, a lace-up suede ankle boot with a faux fur lining, takes over for the coldest days. For a pair with a taller shaft, also discover our women’s leather boots.
How to choose your women’s ankle boots
The choice of a women’s ankle boot depends first on how you’ll use it. Four criteria make the difference:
- Heel height: flat ankle boots for walking all day, a medium block heel for work, a higher heel for a dressy evening look.
- Toe shape: round for a softer look, square for a contemporary touch, pointed to slim the silhouette.
- Material: leather goes with you in every season, while suede and velvet bring softness and texture to your mid-season looks.
- Fastening: a zip or laces, depending on how easy you want them to be to put on every day.
Whatever the height, the ankle boot should hold the ankle without squeezing. Once you’ve defined your use, our size guide and free returns* let you try your new pair of ankle boots risk-free.
Caring for your leather ankle boots
A few simple steps are enough to extend the life of your leather ankle boots:
- Brush: use a soft brush after each wear to remove dust and small marks.
- Nourish: regularly apply a suitable milk or cream to preserve the suppleness and shine of the leather.
- Waterproof: before winter, protect your ankle boots from rain and moisture.
- Let dry: after a damp day, let them air dry, away from a radiator, and alternate your pairs to avoid premature wear.
Suede requires special attention: a dedicated brush and a protective spray are enough to revive its texture. Discover all our leather care products, as well as our care tips on each product page.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ankle boots and boots?
They are two words for the same shoe, the one that stops at the ankle. Boots is simply the English term, which has entered everyday usage to refer to women’s ankle boots. The real difference is with the tall boot, which is distinguished by a higher shaft.
Do leather ankle boots stretch over time?
Yes, slightly, and that’s rather a good sign: quality leather softens and molds to your foot with wear. Rest assured, this doesn’t mean the ankle boot loses its shape, quite the opposite.
Which women’s ankle boots should you wear with jeans?
With straight-leg jeans, go for a block-heel ankle boot for a good balance. With skinny jeans, a low boot or a slim-heeled ankle boot will elongate the silhouette. With wide-leg jeans, prefer a flat, round-toe ankle boot, more comfortable day to day.
How do you choose your size in ankle boots?
We recommend taking your usual size and referring to our size guide if in doubt. You can try your pair of ankle boots risk-free thanks to our free returns within 15 days*.
