A warm, steady knee-high boot for cold-weather days
These faux fur lined knee high boots with low block heel are built for the months when you want your legs and feet covered and your footing to feel secure. The shape is simple: a smooth black shaft, a round toe, a chunky square heel and a platform sole with a rubber outsole.
The heel is listed in the 5 to 8 cm range, which is roughly 2 to 3 inches. In the main photo it reads as a low-to-moderate block heel on a lug-style sole. That gives you some height without the tippy feeling of a thin heel.
A quick honest note on the lining. The product name and the original listing describe a warm, fur-style lining, and the material specs list the lining as microfiber. The photos do not show the inside of the boot, so we can't tell you how thick or plush it is. We'd rather say that plainly than oversell it.
Why it works for cold-weather everyday wear
If you are looking for one pair of black boots that gets worn most days from late fall through winter, this is the kind of boot that fits the job. It is plain, dark and easy to pair with what you already own.
A block heel you can walk in
A square block heel spreads your weight across a wider base than a stiletto or a kitten heel. Combined with a platform at the front, the boot sits higher off the ground without the forefoot being tilted as steeply as it would be on a high heel with no platform.
The listing gives the heel height as 5 to 8 cm. It does not give an exact figure or the platform height, so we can't state the exact pitch of your foot. If you are used to flats, expect a noticeable lift. If you wear heeled boots often, it should feel familiar.
The outsole is rubber, and the main photo shows a lug-style tread pattern. Rubber generally gives more grip on everyday surfaces than a smooth hard sole. These boots are not waterproof, so treat wet and icy conditions with caution.
A closure that makes them easy to get on
The listing specifies a zip closure, which is what makes a knee-high boot practical. You do not need to fight with laces every morning. The main photo also shows elastic side gussets and pull tabs, which are the details that usually help with getting a snug shaft on and off.
We can't promise how much give the gussets have, and no calf circumference is published. If you have wider calves, keep that in mind before you order, since sales are final.
Fabric and feel
The upper and the shaft are both PU, which is a synthetic leather-look material. In the photo it looks smooth and slightly sleek in black. The insole is fabric, and the lining is listed as microfiber.
PU does not breathe the way natural leather can, so these are a cold-weather boot rather than something for warm days. The listing marks the season as winter, and that matches the way we would wear them.
The sole unit is rubber. The upper is attached to the sole by sticking, which means it is cemented rather than stitched through. The listing also marks the boots as handmade. Small differences from pair to pair in glue lines or finishing are normal for that kind of production.
A few things the listing does not say, so we will not guess at them: the exact thickness of the lining, how much the shaft stretches, and the weight of the boot. There is no metal toe cap, and the boots are not waterproof.
Care instructions
Care for PU boots is mostly about keeping them clean and dry.
- Wipe the outside with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing. Dry it with a clean cloth.
- Do not soak the boots. They are not waterproof, so if they get wet, stuff them loosely with paper and let them dry at room temperature.
- Keep them away from radiators, heaters and hair dryers. Strong heat can damage glue and synthetic surfaces.
- Do not put them in a washing machine.
- Store them upright, with the shafts supported, in a cool, dry place so the shaft does not crease.
- Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth or soft brush when dirt builds up in the tread.
Size guide
These boots are offered in sizes 35 to 40, which correspond to US 5.5 to 8 in the size information we have.
How to measure
Measure your foot rather than relying on the size of your other shoes, since brands vary.
- Put a sheet of paper on a hard floor, with one edge against a wall.
- Stand on the paper with your heel touching the wall. Wear the type of socks you plan to wear with the boots.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters or inches.
- Repeat with the other foot and use the larger number.
Measure in the evening if you can. Feet are often a little larger at the end of the day.
Which size should I choose?
The listing states these boots fit true to size. These are the foot lengths that go with each size we offer:
- Size 35 (US 5.5): 22.5 cm / 8.86 in
- Size 36 (US 6): 23 cm / 9.06 in
- Size 37 (US 6.5): 23.5 cm / 9.25 in
- Size 38 (US 7): 24 cm / 9.45 in
- Size 39 (US 7.5): 24.5 cm / 9.65 in
- Size 40 (US 8): 25 cm / 9.84 in
If your measurement falls between two sizes, think about your socks. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, the larger size is usually the more comfortable choice. If you have a narrow foot and prefer a snug fit, the smaller one may suit you.
The calf is a separate question. The shaft height and the calf width are not published, so we cannot give you a number. If you want a clear sense of how the boot sits on your leg, measure from the floor to just below your knee and around the widest part of your calf. Then compare that with the boot in the photos. If you are unsure, send us a message before you order. All sales are final for fit, so it is worth asking first.
How to style it
A black knee-high boot with a block heel is easy to work into a winter wardrobe. These are a few combinations that suit the shape.
- With a midi skirt or dress. The shaft covers the lower leg, so you get a clean line from hem to heel. Add tights if you want extra warmth.
- With slim jeans or leggings. Tuck the pants into the shaft for a neat, streamlined look. The chunky sole balances slim legs well.
- With a knit dress. A sweater dress and black boots is a simple cold-weather outfit that needs very little else.
- With a long coat. The boot top will peek out under a hem, and the black color works with camel, gray, navy and black coats.
Since the boots are a solid black with no pattern, you can keep the rest of the outfit quiet or add one piece with texture, such as a wool scarf or a ribbed knit.
Where else you can wear it
This is mainly an everyday boot, but it works in more than one setting.
- Work and the office. A black boot with a modest heel looks tidy with trousers or a skirt.
- Dinner and evenings out. The sleek upper and the heel height are dressy enough for a restaurant or a night out with friends.
- Weekend errands. Zip them up, add a coat and go. The rubber sole is made for a day on your feet, though we would not call it a hiking boot.
- Travel in cold cities. One black pair goes with many outfits, which helps when you are packing light. They are not waterproof, so check the forecast.

Frequently asked questions
Are these boots waterproof?
No. The listing states they are not waterproof. The PU upper will handle light dampness if you wipe it dry afterward, but they are not meant for puddles, heavy rain or deep snow.
Is the lining real fur?
No. The name describes a faux fur lined boot, and the listed lining material is microfiber. We do not know the thickness of the lining, and the photos do not show the inside, so we can't describe how plush it is.
How high is the heel?
The listing gives the heel height as 5 to 8 cm, which is about 2 to 3 inches. It is a square block heel on a platform sole. In the main photo it looks like a low-to-moderate chunky heel.
Will they fit wider calves?
We do not have a published calf measurement or a shaft height. The main photo shows elastic side gussets, but we can't say how much stretch they give. If you have wider calves, contact us before ordering, because all sales are final.
Do they run true to size?
The listing says they fit true to size. Measure your foot, compare it with the length for each size above, and go up a size if you plan to wear very thick socks or are between sizes.
How long does delivery take?
Shipping is free to the US and takes 7 to 14 business days.
