A tall, slouchy boot with a chunky sole and a steady heel
These platform knee high boots with low block heel are made for people who like a boot with some attitude but do not want to wobble around on a stiletto. The upper is smooth faux-leather, the toe is rounded, and the sole is a thick platform paired with a wide block heel. The look in the photos is slouchy and a little biker-inspired, with buckle straps across the front of the tall shaft.
We offer them in brown and black. The listing is a slip-on style, so there is no zipper to deal with in the product details. The buckles you see in the photos are part of the look. We cannot tell you from the supplied information whether they adjust, so treat them as styling details.
The price is $109, and shipping to the US is free.
Why it works for everyday boot lovers
If you want one pair of tall boots that works with skirts, dresses and jeans, this shape makes sense. The chunky sole gives you height without a steep angle at the foot. The block heel spreads your weight over a wider area than a thin heel does. The rounded toe gives your toes more room than a pointed one.
The sole is a thick platform, and the heel is a square block heel. The listing puts the heel in the 5 to 8 cm range (roughly 2 to 3 inches). The platform adds to the overall lift, and we do not have separate measurements for the platform or the heel, so we will not guess at a number. In the photos, the heel looks low and wide, which is what you want for a day of walking.
The outsole is rubber. Rubber generally gives better grip on pavement than a smooth hard sole, though we have not tested these on ice or wet ground, and the boots are not waterproof.
The slouchy shaft and buckle straps
The shaft is tall, and in the main photos it sits in soft folds instead of standing stiff. That gives the boot its slouchy, biker-style character. Front buckle straps add a bit of hardware without making the boot look heavy.
Some photos in the listing show other versions of the same idea. One brown pair has a crossing buckle strap and a ruched shaft. Another brown pair has wide buckle straps and a chunky lug-style platform sole. Please order by the color and size options on this page, since the photos show a range of details and we can only confirm the specifications listed here.
One honest note on height. The product is listed as knee-high, but one spec line describes the upper as reaching above the ankle but not to the knee. The shaft height is not published in centimeters. Where the boot ends will depend on your leg length and how much the shaft slouches. If you are short and want to be sure the boot fits under a skirt hem, keep that in mind.
Fabric and feel
The upper and the shaft are both PU, which is a smooth faux-leather. It has a consistent, even surface, and it is a vegan alternative to leather. The lining is microfiber and the insole is fabric. The outsole is rubber.
We do not have fabric percentages, and we do not have information on stretch, so we will not claim any. What we can say from the specs: the boots are listed as handmade, the upper is attached by sticking (glued construction), and they have no metal toe cap. They are not waterproof. The listing also says there are no high-concern chemicals.
Because this is a winter boot by season but not an insulated one as far as we know, we cannot promise extra warmth. The listing does not mention a fleece or fur lining, so do not expect one. Wear warm socks if you are heading into real cold.
Care instructions
The supplied information does not include a manufacturer care label, so this is general guidance for faux-leather boots.
- Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Dry it with a clean cloth.
- Keep the boots away from radiators, heaters and direct sun, which can dry out or warp PU.
- Do not soak them. They are not waterproof, so if they get wet, blot them and let them dry at room temperature.
- Stuff the shaft with tissue or use boot shapers when storing, so the slouch stays soft instead of creasing in one spot.
- Avoid harsh solvents and strong cleaners on the surface.
Size guide
We offer sizes 35 to 39, which correspond to US women's sizes 5.5 to 7.5.
How to measure
Measure your foot, not your usual shoe size, since sizing varies between brands.
- 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 or inches.
- Repeat for the other foot and use the larger number.
Measure at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger. Then compare your length with the foot lengths below.

Since this is a knee-high style, also measure around the widest part of your calf. The calf circumference of the boot shaft is not published, so there is no number to compare it with. If you have fuller calves, we suggest you contact us before ordering.
Which size should I choose?
The listing says the fit is true to size. If your foot length matches a row in the table, order that size.
If you are between sizes, think about your socks. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, go up. If you usually wear thin socks or tights, stay with the closer match. The round toe gives some room, but we do not have information on stretch in the upper, so we do not recommend sizing down.
Our sizes stop at 39 (US 7.5). If your foot is longer than 24.5 cm, these will not be a good fit for you at the moment.
Because all sales are final for fit or change of mind, take a few minutes with a tape measure before you check out.
How to style it
The slouchy shaft and chunky sole give the boot a casual, slightly edgy look. A few easy ideas:
- With a skirt or dress. A mini or midi skirt shows off the shaft, and tights fill the gap if your boot sits below the knee. A slip dress with a knit sweater over it also works.
- With jeans. Straight or slim jeans can be tucked into the boots, which brings out the biker feel. Wide-leg jeans look better worn over the boots, with only the toe and sole visible.
- With leggings or knit pants. Tucked in, the slouchy shaft sits neatly at the leg for a simple, cozy outfit.
- With a long coat. A trench or wool coat that falls near the top of the boot keeps the lines clean.
Black platform knee high boots with low block heel are the easiest to pair with other dark pieces. The brown pair suits cream, denim, olive and camel. Keep the outfit simple, since the buckles and the thick sole already provide the interest.
Where else you can wear it
These are autumn and winter boots by season, and they handle more than just weekends.
- Casual days out. Shopping, errands and coffee with friends are comfortable with a low block heel.
- Dinners and nights out. The platform and the buckle detail dress up a simple outfit, and you stay steady on your feet.
- Travel days. A slip-on boot is convenient at airport security, and the low heel makes walking easier.
- Concerts and events. The sole gives you height without strain on the ball of the foot, though we cannot say how they will feel after hours of standing.
They are not meant for heavy rain, snow or ice, since the listing says they are not waterproof.

Frequently asked questions
Are these boots true to size?
The listing says the fit is true to size. Check your foot length against the size table and order the matching size. If you are between sizes and plan to wear thick socks, go up.
How high is the shaft?
The shaft height is not published in centimeters. The product is listed as knee-high, and one spec line says the upper sits above the ankle but not to the knee. The exact point will depend on your height and leg length, and the slouchy shaft also affects it.
Are the boots waterproof or warm?
No, they are listed as not waterproof. The lining is microfiber, and we do not have information about insulation, so we do not promise extra warmth for very cold weather.
Is the heel high?
The heel is a square block heel, and the listing puts it in the 5 to 8 cm range (about 2 to 3 inches). The platform adds to the lift, and exact platform and heel measurements are not published. In the photos, the heel looks low and wide.
Can I return them if they do not fit?
No. All sales are final, with 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.
