The lace-up ankle boot has come through more than a century without losing its appeal. It owes its longevity to a simple quality: a fit you adjust yourself. Here is what sets it apart from other ankle boots, how to lace it properly and how to wear it today.

Why choose a lace-up ankle boot?

A lace-up ankle boot offers the most precise support of all ankle boots: the lacing adjusts to the instep and the ankle, which steadies the foot as you walk. It is the natural choice for days spent on your feet and long walks around town.

Among our women's boots and ankle boots, it is the sturdiest silhouette, one that is just as at home in town as at the weekend in the countryside.

Laces, zip or elastics: what changes

Each fastening has its own logic. The zip and the elastics save time, the lacing gains in precision. For a slim foot, a high instep or ankles that need support, laces remain the most comfortable solution, provided you take care to find your women's shoe size.

A history going back to the 19th century

In the 19th century, the high ankle boot was the women's town shoe. It was fastened with laces or with a row of small buttons, done up with a metal hook, the buttonhook. It is from this lineage that the retro spirit of today's lace-up ankle boots comes.

How to lace your ankle boots for good support?

Good lacing holds the top of the boot firmly, around the ankle, and leaves a little room at the front of the foot. It is this adjustment that keeps the heel in place and prevents rubbing.

Criss-cross lacing, the basics

Criss-cross lacing, where the laces cross from one eyelet to the next, spreads the pressure evenly across the instep. Start slightly loose on the first eyelets, then tighten gradually as you work up towards the ankle.

Choosing laces

We suggest laces in the same colour as the leather: black on black leather, brown on chocolate. A waxed cotton lace holds the knot better and keeps a clean line. To replace a pair, simply measure your original laces.

How to wear lace-up ankle boots?

Lace-up ankle boots are worn with materials with character, raw denim, wool, corduroy, and bring a sturdy note to more feminine outfits. The whole point is to play on this contrast with restraint.

With trousers

Straight jeans turned up above the shaft show off the lacing and lighten the silhouette. With wool trousers and a menswear-inspired jacket, Margaux in black makes a sharp outfit for the office, without anything severe about it.

With a skirt or a dress

A flowing dress or a wool midi skirt, worn with opaque tights, gains character with a chocolate lace-up ankle boot. This contrast between lightness and sturdiness gives a confident look that is very easy to live with.

How to care for lace-up ankle boots?

Regular care to nourish and moisturise the leather keeps it supple and protects the areas that work hardest, around the eyelets and at the flex of the foot.

1. Unlace the boot completely before cleaning it, to reach the tongue.
2. Dust the leather with a horsehair brush, paying particular attention around the eyelets.
3. Nourish it every two to three weeks with a colourless nourishing cream, suitable for black as well as chocolate.
4. Let each pair rest for a day between wears so the leather dries right through.

Frequently asked questions about women's lace-up ankle boots

Are lace-up ankle boots comfortable?

Yes, they are even the most comfortable ankle boots for walking a long time, because the lacing adjusts the support to the shape of the foot. With a studded rubber sole and cushioning under the insole, they suit the busiest days.

Which size should you choose for lace-up ankle boots?

Take your usual size. The lacing lets you refine the fit if your foot is slim, or give a little more room if it is wider or if you wear thick socks in winter.

How to wear lace-up ankle boots in a retro style?

A wool midi skirt, a polo-neck jumper and a chocolate leather lace-up ankle boot evoke the boot of yesteryear without looking like fancy dress. The secret lies in a simple outfit, where the boot alone brings the period note.

Why lace your ankle boots all the way up?

To make the most of the ankle support. Lacing that stops halfway up lets the heel move inside the boot, which tires the foot and wears the leather out faster.

In summary

The lace-up ankle boot offers the most precise support, adjustable each time you wear it. Margaux, in black or chocolate Italian calf leather, on a stitched rubber sole with lugs and a 2.5 cm heel, goes with long walks as well as office outfits. Lacing tight at the ankle and regularly nourished leather will keep it looking good for a long time. Discover it above.
