The Ivy is a leather zip-up ankle boot with an ultra wide toe box. It is perfect for people who can’t find dressy shoes that are wide enough, even in barefoot shoe brands. It has a smart, simple design and a stylish mainstream look. They can be worn year-round, but during cold winter months a sheepskin insert will help preserve warmth.
Note: The leather around the ankle opening is stiff at first. People with sensitive Achilles’ will want to use moleskin until the leather breaks in.
