A knee-high boot with a low, easy-to-walk-in heel
These are knee high boots with low block heel and buckle details, made for people who want a tall boot with some attitude but don't want to wobble around on a thin stiletto. The heel is thick and chunky, and there is a slight platform under the forefoot, so the whole sole feels steady.
The photos show two looks. One is a slouchy, ruched shaft that folds and gathers down the leg. The other is a smoother, more polished shaft in a brown leather-look finish. Both have a round toe and wide buckle straps at the shaft and ankle, which give the boots their motorcycle, slightly punk feel.
They come in black and brown, in sizes 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40. The price is $99, with free shipping to the US.
Why it works for everyday wear with an edge
If you like boots that stand out a little without feeling costume-like, this pair sits in a nice middle spot. The shape is familiar, the details are bold, and the colors are easy to match.
The heel is a chunky block rather than a spike. That spreads your weight across a wider base, which most people find easier for walking, standing at a bar, or getting through a long day. The slight platform adds a little height at the front without making the boot feel stacked.
For exact numbers, the supplier lists the heel in the 5 to 8 cm range (about 2 to 3 inches) and the platform at up to 3 cm (about 1 inch). We don't have a precise measurement for each size, so treat those as a range rather than a promise.
The buckles and the slouchy shaft
The wide buckle straps at the shaft and ankle are the main design detail. They add a hardware look that suits the biker and gothic style named in the product title. One version in the photos also shows snap buttons at the top of the shaft.
The slouchy, ruched shaft gives the boot movement and a relaxed look. The smoother brown version is cleaner and more polished. Pick the one that matches how you like to dress. Note that the supplier lists the closure as slip-on, so please don't count on the buckles being adjustable. They are best thought of as part of the design.
Fabric and feel
The boots have a leather-look finish. The photos show a faux-leather style surface in black and brown, with the brown pair looking smooth and slightly polished. The supplier lists a plush lining and a plush insole, and a rubber outsole. The boots are listed for spring and autumn wear.
The supplier's specs also contain some inconsistent entries (for example, a fur upper and an ankle height), which don't match the knee-high faux-leather boots in the photos. We have written this page from what the photos and product title show. If material details matter to you, please contact us before you order and we will tell you what we know.
Two other points from the listing: the boots are not waterproof, and there is no metal toe cap. They are a fashion boot for dry to lightly damp days, not a work boot or rain boot.
Care instructions
- Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth after wearing. Let them dry naturally, away from radiators and direct sun.
- Don't soak them or put them in a washing machine.
- Stuff the shafts with paper or use boot shapers when storing, so a slouchy shaft keeps its shape and a smooth one doesn't crease at the ankle.
- Keep them out of heavy rain and standing water, since they are not waterproof.
- Use a gentle cleaner made for synthetic or faux leather if you get a mark. Test it on a small spot first.
Size guide
The boots are offered in numbered sizes 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40.
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. Do this for both feet and use the longer measurement. Measure at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest.
Because these are tall boots, also think about your calf. The photos show a slouchy shaft on one style and a smoother shaft on another, but we don't have a published shaft circumference or shaft height. If you have a larger calf, or you want to wear thick leggings or tights tucked in, keep that in mind before ordering.
Which size should I choose?
The listing says the fit is true to size. We have no published size chart for these boots, so use the chart on this page together with your foot measurement as your guide.
- If you fall between two sizes, think about the socks you will wear. If you like thick socks, the larger size is usually the more comfortable choice.
- If you have a wide foot, a larger size is usually safer. The toe is round, which helps, but we can't promise extra width.
- If you are unsure, send us your foot length and we will help you choose before you order.
All sales are final and we can't accept returns or exchanges for fit, so it is worth double-checking.
How to style it
The slouchy black pair works well with skinny jeans, leggings, or a short skirt with tights. Let the shaft fall naturally and keep the rest of the outfit simple. A leather jacket or an oversized knit is all you need to complete the motorcycle look.
The smoother brown pair is easier to dress up. Try it with a midi skirt, a knit dress, or straight-leg trousers worn over the top of the shaft or tucked in. Brown goes well with cream, olive, camel and denim.
With a chunky heel and platform, these knee high boots with low block heel and buckle detail already carry the outfit, so keep your bag and jewelry plain. If you want to lean into the punk side, add a studded belt or silver rings.
Where else you can wear it
- Everyday errands and commuting. The low block heel is practical for walking around town.
- Casual evenings. They look good with a dress or dark jeans for dinner, a concert or drinks.
- Spring and fall weather. The listing marks them for spring and autumn, and the plush lining suggests a bit of warmth. They are not waterproof and not meant for deep winter.
- Weekends and travel. One pair of tall boots goes with many outfits, which makes packing easier.

Free US shipping and the $99 price mean there are no extra charges at checkout. If you like the look of knee high boots with low block heel and buckle straps, pick your color and size carefully and order with confidence.
Frequently asked questions
Are these boots really knee-high?
The product name and photos show a knee-high shaft, and that is how we describe them. The supplier's specs list an ankle height, which looks like an error. We don't have a published shaft height, so ask us if the exact height matters for you.
Is the heel high or low?
It is a low-to-medium chunky block heel with a slight platform. The supplier lists the heel at 5 to 8 cm (about 2 to 3 inches) and the platform at up to 3 cm (about 1 inch). It is stable and easier to walk in than a thin heel.
Are the buckles adjustable?
The photos show wide buckle straps at the shaft and ankle. The listing gives the closure as slip-on, so we can't say the buckles adjust the fit. Please treat them as a design detail.
Are they waterproof or warm enough for winter?
No, they are not waterproof, and they are listed for spring and autumn. They have a plush lining and insole, but we wouldn't recommend them for snow or heavy rain.
Can I return them if they don't fit?
No. All sales are final, and we can't offer returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. If your boots arrive damaged, defective or wrong, we will replace or refund them within 14 days of delivery. Please check the size chart carefully, and ask us if you are unsure.
