Bottega Veneta Lug Hiking Ankle Boots Men’s Size 11 Brown Leather Italy

Overall Fit: These boots run true to size (TTS) for most wearers, with a medium to snug fit through the midfoot and ankle. The round toe box offers ample room for toes to splay naturally (about 2–3 cm width at the ball of the foot), preventing cramping during extended wear. The elasticized side gore panels and padded collar provide a secure, hug-like embrace without constriction, making them ideal for all-day urban trekking. • Toe Area: Generous and rounded—suits average to wide forefeet. Customers with narrow toes report no slippage thanks to the lace-up system. • Midfoot/Arch: Snug but supportive, with the nylon mesh lining wicking moisture and the cushioned insole contouring to your arch over time. High arches may want orthotic inserts for extra lift. • Ankle/Shaft: Ankle-high cut (~12–13 cm height) with a ~28–30 cm calf circumference at the widest point. The rear pull-tab and adjustable laces allow customization; it’s not too tight for thicker ankles but holds firm during movement. • Heel: Secure lockdown with minimal slip, thanks to the 5.5 cm lug sole’s elevation and textured rubber for stability. • Break-In Period: Minimal (1–3 wears), as the vegetable-tanned leather softens quickly. Initial snugness eases after 10–15 hours of wear. • Weight and Balance: At ~1.2–1.4 kg per boot (heavy due to the chunky rubber sole), they feel grounded and stable, not clunky. The weight distribution favors the heel for a confident stride.
