Italian firm Eleveit has taken all its top protection and fitting tech, and made a new ankle boot – the Versus.

Starting with a full grain leather outer, they’ve added armoured sections in the ankles and toes, super-rigid torsionally-stiff soles, patented Freelock one-touch laces that make the boots fast and easy to get on and off, an E-Dry breathable waterproof membrane and comfort mesh liner, and a classically understated black/white colour scheme with red highlights.
Available in sizes 7-14, they cost £159.99 from anywhere that stocks the Eleveit range – go to www.tri-motive.com to find your nearest stockist.
