The *Helsinki ankle boots* are made from leather that adapts to the shape of your foot. Theyre a great choice for in-between seasons when you want to keep your ankles protected from the wind. The design shares many features with barefoot shoes, but the *Carbon Step* insoles inside give them just enough structure that the manufacturer doesnt classify them as true barefoot shoes. Compared to regular shoes, however, your feet still get to work in a more natural way. The sole structure is only 3 mm thick. The shoes have whats known as *zero drop*the sole is the same thickness at the heel and the ball of the foot. This places the foot in a more natural position than typical shoes, which usually have a raised heel. The insole is slightly wedge-shaped, but the soft material compresses under the heel to match the thickness under the front of the foot. Pair the *Helsinki* boots with jeans, a suit, or a skirttheyre versatile and go with many styles. - Wide fit - Designed in Finland
