Suede knee high boots with low block heel, in the height you choose
Most boots give you one heel and one closure. These come in six combinations: three heel heights (3, 6 and 8 cm) and two closures (a lace-up back or a zipper). All six are black faux suede, so the decision is really about how you want to walk and how you want to put them on.
The 3 cm heel is about 1.2 inches. That is the one to look at if you want suede knee high boots with low block heel comfort for long days on your feet. The 6 cm is about 2.4 inches, and the 8 cm is about 3.1 inches, which is a clear step up in height. All of them use a square block heel, which spreads your weight over a wider base than a stiletto would.
The boots also have a platform of 0 to 3 cm at the front, according to the specs. That slightly softens the effective heel height, but we cannot give an exact figure for each option, so judge by the heel number you choose.
Why it works for everyday, all-season dressing
These are for someone who wants a tall boot that looks put together but is not fussy. A solid black faux suede upper goes with almost everything already in a closet, and a block heel is easier to live with than a thin one.
The heel options
The heel is the main thing that changes how these feel.
- 3 cm: the most relaxed option. Good for walking, commuting and days with a lot of standing.
- 6 cm: a middle ground. Enough lift to change how trousers and skirts hang, still stable.
- 8 cm: the dressiest. Better for evenings and shorter distances.
If you are not sure, the 3 cm and 6 cm are the safer picks for daily wear. Choose the 8 cm if you are already comfortable in heels of that height.
Zipper or lace-up
The zipper version is the quicker one. You zip it and go, which matters on a weekday morning. The listing describes the boots as elastic, and the photos of the lace-up pair show a stretch faux suede that follows the leg. We do not have a stretch percentage or a measurement for how much give there is, so we will not promise a number.
The lace-up back lets you adjust the tightness up the shaft. That can help if your calf and ankle are different widths, or if you like to wear them looser with thick socks. It takes a little longer to put on and take off, and you will want to tie it neatly so the lacing sits flat.
Fabric and feel
The upper and shaft are faux suede. That means a soft, matte, brushed look without using animal suede. The lining is cotton, the insole is EVA (a light, cushioned foam), and the outsole is rubber for grip on pavement and indoor floors.
The listing gives no fabric percentages, so we cannot say what the faux suede is made from or how thick it is. The toe is listed as round and there is no metal toe cap. In some photos the toe looks a little more almond-shaped, so expect a softly shaped toe rather than a sharply pointed one.
The boots are not waterproof. Treat them as dry-weather boots for spring and autumn, and keep them out of heavy rain and deep puddles. The listing also says they are handmade, so small differences between pairs are normal.
Care instructions
The listing does not include a manufacturer care label, so this is general advice for faux suede.
- Brush gently with a soft suede brush or a clean, dry cloth to lift the surface and remove dust.
- Spot-clean marks with a barely damp cloth and let the boots air dry away from heat.
- Do not soak them or put them in a washing machine or dryer.
- If they get wet, stuff them loosely with paper and let them dry naturally.
- Store them upright, with the shafts supported, so the tops do not crease.
- Test any cleaner or protective spray on a hidden spot first.
Size guide
We offer sizes 33 to 41. The brand has not published a full size chart, so use the foot-length measurements below as your guide.
How to measure
Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe, then measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters. Do this at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest, and wear the type of socks you plan to wear with the boots.
Measure both feet and use the longer one. Then find the closest length in the chart. For example, a foot of 24 cm lines up with size 38 in the brand's measurements.
Shaft height and calf width are not published for these boots. If you know that regular tall boots feel tight on your calves, consider the lace-up version, which you can loosen.
Which size should I choose?
The listing says the fit is true to size. We would still go by your foot length rather than the size you usually wear, because sizing differs from brand to brand and there is no brand chart to check against.
- If your foot length falls exactly on a size, choose that size.
- If you are between sizes, the larger one is usually more comfortable, especially with thicker socks or the higher heel options.
- If you plan to wear the 8 cm heel for a full day, extra length at the toe will not help, because your foot slides forward. Choose the size that matches your measurement closely.
All sales are final, so take a minute to measure before you order. We would rather you spend two minutes with a ruler than end up with a pair that does not fit.
How to style it
The black faux suede is easy to dress up or down.
- With jeans: wear straight or slim jeans tucked into the shaft for a clean line. If the shaft sits slouchy on you, a tucked leg keeps it tidy.
- With skirts and dresses: a midi skirt or knee-length dress works with the boots reaching the knee. If you pick a pair that reaches above the knee, a shorter hem shows off the boot.
- With knits: an oversized sweater and leggings or a mini skirt is a simple autumn outfit.
- With tailoring: wide black trousers over the boot do not work well, but slim black trousers tucked in give a sleek, monochrome look.
- Heel choice: use the 3 cm heel for daytime outfits and the 8 cm for evenings.
Because the boots are one solid color, you can add contrast with a belt, bag or scarf in a lighter shade. Black on black also looks good if you prefer something quiet.
Where else you can wear it
- Work: the 3 cm and 6 cm versions are comfortable options for office days where you want something more polished than sneakers.
- Travel: a zip-up pair is quick to take off at airport security, though check how much room you have in your bag before packing a tall boot.
- Evenings out: the 8 cm heel with a dress or dark jeans gives you some height for dinner or drinks.
- Weekends: casual outfits work well with the lace-up version, especially in dry weather.
These are made for spring and autumn, so they are not our first suggestion for snow or heavy rain.

Frequently asked questions
Are these actually suede?
No. The upper and the shaft are faux suede. It has the soft, brushed look of suede, but it is not made from animal suede.
Which heel height should I pick?
For daily walking, the 3 cm heel is the most comfortable and the closest to a low block heel. The 6 cm adds noticeable height while staying stable. The 8 cm is the highest and best kept for shorter outings or if you already wear heels of that height often.
How tall is the shaft, and will it fit my calves?
We do not have a published shaft height or calf circumference. Photos show styles reaching the knee or above it, so the exact point depends on your leg length. The listing describes the boots as elastic, but we cannot say how much stretch there is. If a snug calf is a concern, the lace-up version gives you the most adjustment.
Are the boots waterproof?
No. The listing states they are not waterproof, and faux suede can mark when wet. Wear them in dry weather and brush them after use.
Can I return them if they do not fit?
All sales are final, so we cannot accept returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. That is why we suggest measuring your foot and comparing it to the size chart before you order. If your pair arrives damaged, defective or is the wrong item, contact us within 14 days of delivery and we will replace or refund it.
