Lace up knee high boots with low block heel for people who want height without the wobble
Most tall, lace-up boots come with a tall, thin heel. These do not. The heel is a low, square block, listed at 1 to 3 cm (about 0.4 to 1.2 inches), so you get the long, dramatic line of a tall shaft while still standing on a steady base.
The upper is faux suede in a solid color, with lacing up the front of the shaft. The closest photo we have shows a purple and black version with a round toe, a chunky heel and a lugged sole. The shaft sits at or above the knee.
These lace up knee high boots with low block heel come in six colors: Red, Khaki, Brown, Purple, Black and Green. Sizes run from 34 to 43.
One note on the photos: some listing images for this style show boots that look slightly different. A few show a stretch-style shaft with no visible laces, and one shows a chunky platform wedge with buckles and chains. The pair we are describing here has a lace-up front, a round toe, a square heel and no platform, which matches the specs.
Why it works for anyone who wants a tall boot they can actually walk in
If you love the look of over-the-knee boots but have been put off by high heels, this is the practical version. The low heel and round toe are the reasons.
The low block heel
The heel is a square block, not a spike. Square heels spread your weight over a bigger area, which makes a real difference on pavement, cobblestones, stairs and long evenings on your feet.
At 1 to 3 cm, it adds a little lift without changing how you walk. If you usually live in flats and sneakers, this is an easy step up. There is no platform, so the height of the boot comes from the shaft rather than the sole.
The outsole is rubber, and in the photo it has a lugged, textured pattern. That gives you more grip than a smooth sole. We can't promise performance on wet or icy ground, and the boots are not waterproof.
The front lacing
The lace-up closure runs up the front of the shaft, with a cross-tied look. Lacing is mostly a style choice, but it also lets you decide how snug the boot feels as you go up the leg. You can leave it looser or pull it tighter.
Here is what we can't tell you: how much room there is at the calf or the top of the shaft. The supplier doesn't publish those measurements, and we don't want to guess. Lacing helps with adjustment, but it does not replace measuring.
The listing also shows a round toe, which gives your toes more room than a pointed shape. There is no metal toe cap.
Fabric and feel
The upper and the shaft are faux suede. It has a soft, matte, brushed look, similar to real suede, and the solid colors give the boots a clean, even finish.
Inside, the lining is mesh and the insole is fabric. The outsole is rubber. The upper is attached by sticking, meaning the parts are glued rather than stitched through. That is common on fashion boots, and it is one more reason to keep them away from soaking water and strong heat.
The supplier lists the boots as handmade. We don't have details on thickness, weight or stretch, so we won't describe any of those. Faux suede in general can feel a little firm when new and soften as you wear it, but individual pairs vary.
These are listed for spring and autumn. They are not waterproof, and they are not described as insulated, so think of them as cool-weather boots rather than deep-winter boots.
Care instructions
These are general care tips for faux suede boots rather than manufacturer instructions.
- Brush off dust and dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
- For small marks, dab gently with a slightly damp cloth, then let the boots air dry.
- Keep them away from radiators, hair dryers and direct heat, since the parts are glued.
- Do not machine wash or soak them.
- Because they are not waterproof, avoid heavy rain and puddles. If they do get wet, stuff them loosely with paper and let them dry at room temperature.
- Store them upright, with the shaft supported, so the top doesn't crease.
- Test any suede spray on a hidden spot first.
Size guide
We offer sizes 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 and 43.
How to measure
Measuring takes five minutes and saves a lot of hassle, especially since all sales are final.
- Foot length. Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark. Do this in the evening, when feet are slightly larger.
- Foot width. Measure across the widest part of your foot, usually the ball.
- Calf. Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your calf.
- Shaft height. Measure from the floor to the point on your leg where you want the top of the boot to sit.
- Upper leg, if you want an over-the-knee fit. Measure around your leg at the height where the boot top will land.
Write the numbers down and compare them with the size chart on this page. If any measurement sits between two sizes, read the next section.
Which size should I choose?
The supplier lists the fit as true to size. However, a full size chart has not been published for this model, so we can't give exact shaft, calf or foot measurements. Please treat the measurements you take as the real guide, and use the chart on this page for the foot length for each size.
Some practical rules of thumb:
- Between sizes: For a boot with a round toe and a lace-up front, many people go up if they plan to wear thick socks, and stay with their usual size for thin socks or tights.
- Wide feet or full calves: The lacing gives you some adjustment room, but we can't say how much. If you know you have a full calf, measure carefully and consider the larger size.
- Narrow feet: Stay with your usual size, and tighten the laces for a closer fit.
- Sizes 42 and 43: These are included for people who often find boots hard to buy in larger sizes.
If you're still unsure, send us a message before ordering with your foot length and calf measurement, and we will help you choose.
How to style it
The low heel and solid color make these easy to wear. A few ideas that work well:
- With a short skirt or dress. The long shaft covers most of the leg. Pair a mini or a slip dress with a cropped jacket for a night out.
- With leggings or skinny pants. A fitted pair under the boots keeps a smooth line. Tuck the pants in, or keep them under the shaft.
- With an oversized sweater. A long knit worn like a dress, with a belt, balances the length of the boots.
- With tights. Black or sheer tights give you extra warmth on cool days and keep the faux suede from rubbing your skin.
- In one color. The Black, Brown and Khaki pairs go with almost everything. Red, Purple and Green work well as the single bold piece in an otherwise plain outfit.
For a gothic or costume look, the lace-up front does most of the work. Add a dark coat, some silver jewelry, and you are done.
Where else you can wear it
These are not only for dressing up. With the low heel, you can wear lace up knee high boots with low block heel for:
- Dinners and nights out when you will be on your feet for a while
- Concerts, festivals and fall events
- Everyday cool-weather outfits, from errands to the office if your dress code allows
- Costume parties, Halloween and themed events
- Photo shoots and fashion-forward weekends away
They are best for dry spring and autumn days. Skip them for snow, heavy rain or hiking.

Frequently asked questions
Are these really over the knee, or knee high?
The product listing calls them over-the-knee boots, and the closest photo shows the shaft at or above the knee. Where they land on you depends on your height and leg length. Measure from the floor to where you want the top of the boot, and compare it with the size chart.
How high is the heel?
The heel is a low square block, listed at 1 to 3 cm (about 0.4 to 1.2 inches). There is no platform.
Do the boots have real laces?
Yes, the style is lace-up, with a closure running up the front of the shaft. Some other listing photos for similar boots show a stretch-style shaft with no visible laces, so check the product images for the color you want.
Are they waterproof or warm enough for winter?
No. They are not waterproof, and they are listed for spring and autumn. They suit cool, dry days. For snow or heavy rain, you will want a different boot.
Can I return them if they don't fit?
All sales are final, so we can't accept returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. That is why we suggest measuring and checking the size chart first. If your boots arrive damaged, defective or are the wrong item, we will replace or refund them within 14 days of delivery.
