See the dressHow to choose a side zipper boot that fits
A side zipper makes a knee-high boot much easier to get on, but it does not change the size of the shaft. Check the shaft height and calf width on the size chart for the style you like, and measure your own calf at the widest point. Our listings do not always state a calf measurement, so when in doubt, go by the chart. All sales are final, so it is worth taking five minutes to measure before you order.
What leather-look means and what to expect
Every boot in this guide is faux leather, not genuine leather. Smooth faux leather wipes clean easily and keeps a consistent black finish, which is why it is popular for knee-high styles. We don't list fabric blends or linings unless they are shown, so if you need a warm lining or true waterproofing, look at each product page and photos closely. Shipping to the US is free and takes 7-14 business days, so plan ahead for events.

Questions, answered
Are these boots made of genuine leather?
No. The boots in this guide are faux or leather-look, as the photos and titles show. They have a smooth black finish, and we do not make claims about the material beyond what is listed.
Will these boots fit wide calves?
Calf width is not stated for these listings, so we can't promise a fit. A side zipper helps with getting the boot on, but please measure your calf and compare it with the size chart.
Can I return boots if they do not fit?
All sales are final, with no returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. If your boots arrive damaged, defective or wrong, we replace or refund them within 14 days of delivery.
