A tall, warm-looking boot made for winter walking
If you spend part of every winter day on foot, you know the problem. Short boots leave your shins cold, and heels get tiring fast. These faux fur lined flat knee high riding boots for walking go the other way: a tall shaft, a low heel and a treaded rubber sole.
In the coffee photos you can see the details clearly. The shaft is clean and straight, with a thick, fluffy faux fur lining showing at the top. The suede-look finish is a soft taupe-brown, and a side zipper and a small brand tag are visible in the close-up. The sole is flat and treaded rather than smooth.
The boots come in black and coffee, in sizes 35 to 42, for $99. Shipping to the US is free.
One honest note up front. The product title and the spec sheet describe the boot a little differently in places, for example the boot height. We have spelled out below what the photos show and what the specs say, so you know exactly what you are buying.
Why it works for cold-weather walkers
These boots suit women who want coverage and some warmth without a stiff, heavy winter boot. Here is what matters most.
A faux fur lined shaft
The coffee boot in our photos shows a thick faux fur lining at the top of the shaft. That is the part of a tall boot that touches your calf, so it is where a soft lining matters most on a cold morning.
The spec sheet lists the lining material as PVC, so we cannot give you a fiber breakdown or a warmth rating. What we can say is what the photos show: a plush, fluffy faux fur look inside the boot. The black pair is titled as plush lined, but the black photo does not show the inside, so we can only tell you what the title says.
A flat, treaded rubber sole
The outsole is rubber, and in the coffee photos you can see a tread pattern. That helps on wet sidewalks and cold pavement. The insole is EVA, a lightweight foam commonly used for cushioning.
The heel is listed as a square heel in the 3 to 5 cm range, which is about 1.2 to 2 inches. So it is a low block, not a stiletto. It is a comfortable height for longer walks, though it is not completely flat.
A tall shaft with a side zip
The product name and title call it knee-high, and the photos show a tall straight shaft. The spec sheet, however, lists the boot height as mid-calf. Where exactly the top lands will depend on your height and leg length, which is why we suggest measuring from the floor to the point on your leg where you want the boot to end.
A side zipper means you do not have to pull a tall boot on over your foot like a sock. The zip is the closure listed in the specs. There is no published calf width, so if you have a wider calf, please message us before ordering.
Fabric and feel
The upper and shaft are both listed as PU, a synthetic material. The coffee pair in the photos has a suede-look finish, soft in appearance with a matte surface. The title mentions genuine leather, but the spec sheet lists PU for the upper, so we describe it as PU and do not claim leather.
Other listed details:
- Outsole: rubber
- Insole: EVA
- Upper fixing: stitching
- Toe shape: round toe, with no metal toe cap
- Pattern: solid
- Waterproof: yes, as listed
- Handmade: yes, as listed
The boot is listed as waterproof. We would still treat the seams and the zipper area as the places water is most likely to get in, so avoid standing in deep slush or puddles. For ordinary wet sidewalks and snowy days, that is exactly what this boot is meant for.
Care instructions
Care for them gently, since they are a synthetic upper with a fluffy lining.
- Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth after wet or salty days. Salt on sidewalks can leave marks.
- If the faux fur lining gets damp, let the boots air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from radiators and heaters, which can damage synthetic materials and glue.
- Stuff them with paper or use boot shapers so the tall shaft keeps its form in the closet.
- Brush the faux fur lining lightly with a soft brush to keep it from matting.
- Do not machine wash them.
- For the suede-look finish, test any cleaner on a small hidden spot first.
Size guide
The boots are offered in sizes 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 42, and the listing says they fit true to size.
How to measure
The size chart for this boot is not published by the maker, so measuring your own foot is the best starting point.
- Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters and in inches.
- Do this for both feet and use the longer one.
For the shaft, measure from the floor to the spot on your leg where you want the top of the boot to sit, usually just below the bend of your knee for a knee-high look. Also measure around the widest part of your calf. We do not have a published shaft height or calf circumference for this boot, so please ask us if those numbers decide whether you buy.
Which size should I choose?
Start with your usual size. The listing says true to size, and your measured foot length is the most reliable guide.
If you fall between two sizes, we suggest going up. A lined boot takes up some room inside, and a little extra space lets you wear thicker socks. If you have a wider foot, going up is usually the better call.
Since all sales are final for fit, it is worth taking a few extra minutes here. If you are unsure, message us before you order and we will help you think it through.
How to style it
The coffee color has a neutral taupe-brown tone that works with most winter clothing. Black is the safer choice if most of your coat and bag colors are dark.
A few simple ways to wear these faux fur lined flat knee high riding boots for walking:
- With leggings or skinny jeans. Tuck the pants into the shaft for a clean line, since the shaft is straight and smooth.
- With a knit dress or skirt. Wear them with tights and a longer sweater dress. The tall shaft covers your legs, which makes cold days easier.
- With a long coat. A wool coat that hits at the knee leaves just the top of the boot visible, with the faux fur lining adding a soft detail.
- With chunky socks. If you size up, a thick sock folded over the top gives a relaxed look. The fluffy lining at the top of the shaft will show the same way.
For black, a plain dark outfit with one lighter layer, like a cream scarf, keeps things simple.
Where else you can wear it
The boots are built for cold weather, so most of their use is outdoors in winter:
- Walking the dog or running errands on cold mornings
- Commuting to work or school when the sidewalks are wet
- Weekend trips, markets and casual outings
- Winter travel, where you want one pair that is easy to wear all day
They are not a technical hiking or snow-sports boot, and we would not suggest them for deep snow or serious trails. For daily life in a cold, wet city, the low heel and treaded sole are a practical fit.

Why shop with Boots Canyon
Boots Canyon is a shop focused on boots. We write our product pages from what we can see in the photos and read in the specs, and we tell you when something is not published, like the size chart here.
Where the title and the specs disagree, we say so rather than choose the version that sounds best. You get a plain description of the boot, a clear price of $99, and free shipping to the US.
If you have a question about sizing or the details above, ask before you order. It is much easier to answer a question than to deal with a pair that does not fit.
Frequently asked questions
Are these boots really knee-high?
The product name and title say knee-high, and the photos show a tall straight shaft. The spec sheet lists the height as mid-calf, so the exact top height depends on your leg length. We do not have a published shaft measurement, so ask us if the height matters for your decision.
Are they lined with faux fur?
The coffee photos show a thick, fluffy faux fur lining at the shaft. The spec sheet lists the lining material as PVC, so we cannot give a fiber breakdown. The black pair is titled as plush lined, but the black photo does not show the inside.
Are they waterproof?
The listing says yes. They are good for wet sidewalks and snowy days. We would avoid deep puddles, since seams and the zipper area are the likeliest places for water to get in.
Do they run true to size?
The listing says true to size. Without a published size chart, use your measured foot length, and go up a size if you are between sizes or plan to wear thick socks.
Can I return them if they do not fit?
All sales are final, so there are no returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. If your boots arrive damaged, defective or are the wrong item, we will replace or refund them within 14 days of delivery.
