Also this model, like the 6314, has the leg askew, higher on the front and lower on the back, which makes it very dynamic.

Ankle boot with a modern, sparkling style. This is one of the best-selling Felmini boots.
It is an ankle boot, very soft, with a shape that wraps the foot like a glove.
It is basically the same boot as 7296, only with the leg cut just above the ankle.
Felmini has created it as a simple pull-on boot.
Our experience with our customers has taught us that this boot is not easy to slip on as it is, so we have asked and obtained exclusively for us a different version, with a side zipper applied to allow a perfect and comfortable fit.
So we are the only ones where to find the modified 7293 with zip on side (item A338).
In Valentina shoe store this ankle boot is available in black, cuero tan leather, castanho brown, dark brown, and red color. Are you stille wondering where to buy these wonderful Felmini ankle boots? Come on, you have landed exactly in the right place!
A particularity: many paeople ask us if the black color of the Felmini boots is not actually gray.
The answer is simple. As the boots are hand painted with vintage techniques, they result in a slightly smoky black, which gives beautiful nuances, and may be often mistaken for a very dark grey.
Moreover, the fact that they are painted by hand means that each pair of boot is unique: there are differences in color between one pair and another. Sometimes a brown boot come out to be be lighter or darker than expected.
It's the beauty of craftsmanship and true colors!
