ECCO Saunter Gtx Coffee/Coffee Oil Suede/Madrone, Womens Boots 234693-11014 EU37

Designed to live up to its name, this is indeed an ankle boot that you could saunter out in. In style, no less. With an upper made from thick, richly tanned, antique-effect black or brown leather and a two-tone sole unit combining polyurethane with a rubber outer, not only is this boot gorgeous but superbly comfortable to wear. Add to this the fact that the leather is reinforced with a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane and you can’t deny it’s tempting.

Ecco’s Saunter has a zip fastening, an adjustable pewter buckle, a pull-up tag the heel and a ranch-style upper that arches up and around at the back and front, only to sweep down forming a wide-angled dip at the sides where the leather sections meet. A stitch and ridge effect welt frames the toe of the boot, forming the surface of the sturdy but flexible sole.

Crossing the smart/casual boundary Saunter is a versatile boot that will hold you in good stead.
