A sleek flat boot that goes with almost everything
These are flat black leather knee high boots with side zipper, made for days when you want to look put together without balancing on a heel. The upper is smooth, soft PU (a faux leather) in solid black. The shaft is slim and sleek, and the toe is gently rounded.
The sole is very low and flat. The listing gives a heel height of 1 cm or less, so you get the long, clean line of a tall boot with the comfort of a flat shoe. Black is the easiest color to wear with the rest of a winter wardrobe, and it hides scuffs better than the lighter options.
The price is $99, with free shipping to the US.
Why it works for women who want a tall boot without a heel
If you walk a lot, stand for long stretches, or simply prefer flat shoes, a knee-high boot with no real heel is a practical choice. A few details are worth knowing before you order.
The flat sole and low profile
The outsole is rubber, and the heel type is flat. That gives you a stable base and an easy, natural stride. The photos show a very low sole with no visible heel block, so these sit close to the ground.
The listing also mentions a platform, but the photos show only a very thin, low sole. We would describe these as flats, not a lifted platform boot. If you are looking for height, this is not that pair.
The slim shaft and side zipper
The shaft is cut slim through the leg, which is what gives the boot its sleek look under dresses, skirts and fitted trousers. The photos show a zipper running up the side of the shaft, which makes getting the boot on and off simpler than pulling on a closed shaft.
The listing title describes the boot as elastic and slimming. We do not have stretch measurements, so we cannot promise how much give the shaft has. Treat it as a close, tailored fit through the leg and check the measuring advice below if you are between sizes or have wider calves.
A simple, modern look
The listing describes the style as Rome, with pleated detailing and a solid pattern. There are no buckles, studs or contrast stitching to compete with your outfit. That keeps the boot easy to pair with different looks through the season.
Fabric and feel
The upper and shaft are PU, a soft faux leather with a smooth finish. The insole is also PU, and the lining is microfiber. The sole is rubber. The listing states there are no high-concern chemicals and no metal toe cap.
The listing marks the boot as handmade, with the upper attached by sticking (glued construction). It is sold as a winter boot, but it is not waterproof, so think of it as a cool, dry-weather boot. Puddles, slush and heavy rain are better handled by a boot made for them.
We do not have details on insulation or thickness of the lining, so we will not promise warmth beyond what the materials suggest. With thick socks or tights it should suit chilly days, but it is not an extreme-cold boot.
Care instructions
The manufacturer did not supply care instructions, so these are general guidelines for PU boots:
- Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and let the boots air dry away from direct heat.
- Do not soak them or put them in a washing machine.
- Keep them away from radiators and hair dryers, since heat can damage PU and glued seams.
- Stuff them with tissue or use boot shapers when storing so the tall shaft does not crease or collapse.
- Zip them fully closed and store in a cool, dry place.
Size guide
The boots are offered in sizes 35, 36, 37, 38 and 39, which correspond to US women's 5.5 to 7.5.
How to measure
Measure your foot rather than guessing from another brand.
- 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 with the other foot and use the longer measurement.
The listing's foot lengths run from 22.5 cm (8.86 in) for size 35 up to 24.5 cm (9.65 in) for size 39. Each step is about half a centimeter.
For a slim tall boot, your calf matters as much as your foot. Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of your calf and note the number. Shaft height and calf circumference are not published for this boot, so we cannot give you an exact figure to compare. If calf fit is a concern, send us your measurement before ordering and we will do our best to help.
Which size should I choose?
The listing says the boots fit true to size. If your foot length falls neatly on one of the sizes above, order that size.
If you are between sizes, consider your socks. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, go up a half size. If you wear thin socks or tights, stay with the smaller size. If you are on the border and have a wider foot, choose the larger one.
Sizes beyond US 7.5 are not offered in this color right now. Remember that all sales are final for fit, so take a few minutes to measure before you order.
How to style it
Because they are flat, black and plain, these boots work with a wide range of outfits.
- With dresses and skirts: Pair them with a midi or knee-length skirt so the shaft shows. A slim black boot with a knit dress is a simple winter outfit.
- With leggings or skinny trousers: Tuck the trousers into the shaft for a clean line. Thin, smooth fabrics work best with a slim shaft.
- With a long coat: A camel, gray or black coat over dark tights and these boots looks tidy and keeps your outfit in one tone.
- With sweaters and denim: Dark jeans tucked in, an oversized sweater on top, and you have an easy weekend outfit.
- Tonal dressing: Black on black stretches your leg line. Add one texture, such as a wool scarf or a leather bag, so it does not look flat.
Because the shaft is slim, very bulky leggings or thick jeans may not fit inside comfortably. Thinner layers will sit better.
Where else you can wear it
These boots are a sensible choice for more than one kind of day.
- At work: The flat sole and plain black finish suit an office that leans smart-casual.
- Travel: The boots are comfortable enough to wear through airports and city walks, and the side zipper means quick on and off at security.
- Evenings out: Black flat boots with a skirt or a dress are quiet and polished for dinner or a night at the theater.
- Everyday errands: With a low sole, they are easy to wear for school runs, shopping and walks in dry weather.
Because they are not waterproof, we would save them for dry or lightly damp days, and keep a different pair for snow or heavy rain.
