    Jose Saenz at Leavys Shoes · Autumn style guide

    Textured leather, rich colour and distinctive soles give Jose Saenz shoes plenty of character. Here is how to choose between our Belén trainers, lace-up ankle boots and stretch wedges—and find the fit that suits you.

    Which Jose Saenz style should you choose?

    Start with the shape you enjoy wearing. Belén trainers offer an adjustable casual option; the Noelia boots have a bolder sole and ankle coverage; Nieves brings a neater stretch silhouette with a raised wedge. The four pairs featured here are made in Spain and list removable insoles, but their heights and fit are different.

    Belén, Noelia or Nieves?

    Relaxed everyday dressing

    Belén

    Choose the low trainer or ankle boot for a sporty shape with laces and a zip. A good place to start if you like adjusting the fit across your instep.

    A stronger boot shape

    Noelia

    Look at the lace-up ankle boot for its chunky sole, metallic detail and stretch around the ankle. Easy to style with denim or a midi dress.

    A streamlined wedge

    Nieves

    Consider the stretch ankle boot if you prefer a neat front and a raised wedge. Burgundy adds colour to navy, grey and neutral outfits.

    These comparisons refer to the styles below. Check each product’s details rather than assuming every shoe in a named range has the same features.

    Four Jose Saenz picks for autumn

    Our picks pair useful fitting features with colours you can build outfits around. Open each product to see current prices, available sizes and more photographs.

    Navy Jose Saenz Belén leather trainer with contrast-edged laces, a curved side zip and dark sculpted sole

    An easy everyday starting point

    Belén navy leather trainers

    Smooth and textured navy leather gives these trainers more depth than a plain casual shoe. They have leather lining, a removable insole and a sole that rises to 3.5 cm at the heel.

    Style idea: Wear with ankle-length navy trousers, an ivory shirt and a rust-coloured knit. For a relaxed weekend look, swap the trousers for straight-leg denim.

    Fit tip: Loosen the laces before your first try-on, adjust them across your foot, then use the side zip for everyday access.

    Tan and brown Jose Saenz Belén ankle boot with textured panels, laces and a curved zip

    For warm autumn colour

    Belén tan and brown ankle boots

    The Belén ankle boot brings the same sporty mood into a higher silhouette. Tonal brown leather, snake-effect detail and a curved side zip add interest, with leather lining and a removable insole inside. The heel is approximately 3.5 cm.

    Style idea: Try olive trousers and a camel coat, or blue jeans with a simple cream jumper. Let the warm leather tones be the main detail.

    Fit tip: Check the ankle opening as well as the room across your toes. A trainer and an ankle boot can hold your foot differently.

    Black Jose Saenz Noelia leather ankle boot with laces, metallic detail and a chunky sole

    For a bolder boot shape

    Noelia black leather lace-up boots

    Grained black leather, metallic accents and a chunky sole give Noelia a stronger look. This lace-and-zip style has a stretch section around the ankle, leather lining, a removable insole and an approximately 5 cm heel.

    Style idea: Pair with a charcoal midi dress and opaque tights, or dark denim and a long wool coat. The metallic detail lifts an otherwise simple outfit.

    Fit tip: The ankle stretch adds give around the shaft. It does not tell you how wide the sole is, so check the fit at the ball of your foot too.

    Burgundy Jose Saenz Nieves stretch ankle boot with a black wedge sole

    For colour with a neat silhouette

    Nieves burgundy stretch wedge boots

    A rich burgundy upper and sculpted black wedge make Nieves a lovely option for adding colour. The stretch shaft and inside zip keep the front neat. This pair has leather lining, a removable insole and an approximately 6 cm heel.

    Style idea: Wear with charcoal cropped trousers or a navy midi skirt. Burgundy also works beautifully with oatmeal, soft grey and dark denim.

    Fit tip: Choose this if you enjoy a raised wedge. Check the feel across your instep and make sure the zip closes comfortably without pulling the upper tight.

    Jose Saenz sizing: EU and UK explained

    Jose Saenz styles at Leavys are offered in EU sizes. Start with your usual EU size and read the fit notes for your chosen pair. We would not apply one “size up” or “size down” rule across trainers, lace-up boots and stretch wedges.

    Check our Jose Saenz size & fit guide

    Our dedicated guide brings together the UK/EU conversion chart, measuring instructions and advice on laces, stretch panels and removable insoles.

    Open the Jose Saenz size guide →

    Jose Saenz women’s sizes: approximate UK equivalents
    EU size UK size (approx.)
    36 3
    37 4
    38 5
    39 6
    40 6.5
    41 7
    42 8

    Follow the size labels on your chosen product. The chart includes sizes that may not be available in every style. UK conversions differ between brands.

    Measuring in centimetres or millimetres

    Our Jose Saenz guide does not include a verified foot-length chart. We can still use your measurements to help with a particular style, but a cm measurement should not be converted into a Jose Saenz size using another brand’s chart.

    Stand on paper

    Place paper on a hard floor against a wall. Wear socks you plan to use and stand with your heel gently against the wall.

    Mark the longest toe

    Keep your weight on your foot. Ask someone to mark the end of your longest toe, then measure from the wall edge to the mark.

    Measure both feet

    Use the longer measurement. Send it to us with your usual size and the product name if you would like advice.

    24.5 cm = 245 mm

    Example of converting units only. This is not a Jose Saenz shoe-size recommendation.

    What makes the fit comfortable?

    Leather lining, adjustable fastenings and removable insoles can be useful, but comfort comes from how the complete shoe fits your foot. Check these details before deciding:

    • Set the laces first. On lace-and-zip styles, adjust the laces while your foot is in the shoe. Use the zip for access once the fit feels right.
    • Check width separately from stretch. Give around the ankle does not establish a wide fit across the forefoot. Your toes and the ball of your foot should have enough room.
    • Try your own insoles in the shoe. If replacing a removable footbed, check the available depth and heel hold with your insert in place. Removable does not guarantee that every insole will fit.
    • Choose a height you enjoy wearing. The Belén styles sit lower at the heel than the featured Noelia and Nieves boots. A chunky sole or wedge can still feel quite different from a low shoe.

    Give a new pair time to settle

    Once you are happy with the fit, begin by sitting at home with your shoes on for about an hour, without walking around. Foot warmth can help the material settle around your feet. Take them off for the day, then build up gradually over the following days and add short periods of walking when seated wear feels comfortable.

    Take them off sooner if they pinch or hurt. Wearing in cannot correct the wrong size or shape. See our guide to wearing in new shoes.

    Common questions about Jose Saenz shoes

    Are Jose Saenz shoes wide fitting?

    Do not assume the whole collection is wide fitting. Check the width information for the individual model. Laces help adjust the hold across your instep, while stretch panels affect a particular part of the upper; neither is a universal width label.

    Do Jose Saenz boots have removable insoles?

    All four pairs featured in this article list removable insoles. For other styles, check the product details. If you use your own insert, try it in the shoe before deciding whether the fit is right.

    Are these boots waterproof?

    These featured styles are not listed as waterproof. Leather and stretch uppers should not be treated as a waterproof specification. Follow care advice for the particular material and allow damp shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat.

    Can I wear Jose Saenz trainers with smarter outfits?

    Yes—the navy Belén trainers work well with ankle-length tailored trousers, a shirt and a neat knit. Keep the rest of the outfit simple so the leather textures and sculpted sole stand out.
