AIPI Handmade Leather Ankle Boots
AIPI leather ankle boots are unisex, made-to-order boots designed for long-term use rather than seasonal trends. Each pair is handmade in Estonia using traditional construction methods and durable materials intended to age, adapt, and improve with wear.
Use
Designed for everyday wear, commuting, travel, and extended walking. Suitable for year-round use, with breathable leather construction that works across seasons.
Materials & Construction
The upper is made from 2 mm thick full-grain leather selected for strength, flexibility, and longevity. The EVA midsole is stitched directly to the upper for structure and comfort, while a stitched rubber outsole provides dependable grip and durability.
- 2 mm thick full-grain leather upper
- Natural leather lining for breathability
- EVA midsole stitched to the upper
- Stitched rubber outsole for long-term durability
Made to Order
These boots are made to order. Each pair is produced individually after purchase, rather than held in stock. This approach supports careful craftsmanship, reduced overproduction, and consistent quality across every pair.
Origin & Craftsmanship
Manufactured in Estonia by AIPI, a small shoemaking studio with decades of experience producing durable footwear for civilian use and professional applications.
AIPI has previously produced footwear for the Estonian Defence Forces and supplied boots to Finland’s military retailer Varusteleka.
Made in Europe
This product is manufactured in Europe under established production standards. European manufacturing supports skilled workmanship, material consistency, and long-term repairability.
Background
This boot design has remained largely unchanged for over 30 years. Its longevity reflects a focus on function, repairability, and everyday usability rather than trend-driven styling.
Fit Guidance
Unisex sizing. The leather will soften and adapt to the foot with wear. If you prefer a snug fit, consider sizing down; for thicker socks, allow additional room.
