Description

A tall boot, without the zip fight.

An over-the-knee boot in two parts. Below, a smooth faux leather Chelsea foot with a stretch side panel, on a chunky lug sole. Above, a fine stretch rib knit that runs up past the knee and ends in a snug ribbed band. A short silver zip on the inner side opens the ankle so your foot goes in. Everything above it is knit, with nothing to close over your calf.

What you are getting

  • A short side zip that stops at the ankle
  • Stretch rib knit from the ankle to above the knee
  • A snug ribbed band at the top
  • A smooth faux leather foot in a Chelsea shape, with a stretch side panel
  • A chunky lug sole with deep treads, and no heel
  • A round toe
  • Two colors: Black, and Cream with a cream sole
  • US sizes 6 to 10.5 (EU 36 to 43)

Perfect for a sweater dress and tights · a midi skirt at the office · leggings and a long coat on the weekend · anyone who gave up on tall boots at the zip · a daughter who lives in boots.

Size & fit

Your size is for your foot. Measure your bare foot from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe, standing, and take the first size that is at least that long:

  • US 6 (EU 36): 9.1 in, 23 cm
  • US 7 (EU 37): 9.3 in, 23.5 cm
  • US 7.5 (EU 38): 9.4 in, 24 cm
  • US 8 (EU 39): 9.6 in, 24.5 cm
  • US 8.5 (EU 40): 9.8 in, 25 cm
  • US 9 (EU 41): 10 in, 25.5 cm
  • US 9.5 to 10 (EU 42): 10.2 in, 26 cm
  • US 10.5 (EU 43): 10.4 in, 26.5 cm

The lengths come from the factory size chart and can vary a little from pair to pair. US 11 and up: this pair will be too short.

Between two sizes? The foot is a closed Chelsea boot: take the larger one, and the larger one too with a wide foot or thick socks.

Your calf. The zip stops at the ankle and the shaft is stretch rib knit, so it stretches over your calf and thigh instead of closing on them. On very full calves or thighs, it can sit a little lower. If it feels too tight, exchange it within 30 days.

Materials & care

Foot

Smooth faux leather (PU), with a stretch side panel.

Shaft

Stretch rib knit.

Insole

PU.

Sole

Rubber lug sole with deep treads.

Care

Wipe the foot with a soft damp cloth. If the knit gets wet, let it dry flat, away from a radiator. A fabric shaver lifts any pilling. Store the pair standing, with the knit folded down once.

The London Over-the-Knee Boot in Black, worn over the knee

The zip stops at the ankle. On purpose.

On most tall boots, the zip is where it goes wrong. It runs up the calf, and it stops halfway. This one zips only where your foot goes in. From there, it’s rib knit, up and over the knee, with nothing to close over your calf. The knit stretches instead.

  • A short silver zip on the inner side
  • Stretch rib knit from the ankle up
  • A snug ribbed band at the top
  • No zip over the calf or the thigh
The London Over-the-Knee Boot in Cream, worn over the knee

A Chelsea boot below. Knit above the knee.

Down below, a smooth faux leather Chelsea foot with a stretch side panel, on a chunky lug sole with deep treads. Up top, a fine rib knit that runs past the knee. The height comes from the knit, not from a heel.

  • A Chelsea shape, round toe
  • A chunky lug sole, no heel
  • Fine rib knit, no shine up the leg
  • Black, or Cream with a cream sole

Made for city sidewalks. Not for deep snow.

Over tights with a sweater dress. Under a midi skirt at the office. With leggings and a long coat on Saturday. The smooth foot and the lug sole are made for the sidewalk. The knit is not made for slush or deep snow: on those days, keep your snow boots.

  • A sweater dress and tights
  • A midi skirt, a long coat
  • Leggings on the weekend
  • Wipe the foot, dry the knit flat
The London Over-the-Knee Boot in Cream, trying them on at home

Questions people ask before they buy

Will they slide down?

The rib knit is snug by nature, and the top ends in a tighter ribbed band, so it hugs the leg instead of hanging loose. Like any knit tall boot, it may ease down over a long day. A quick pull brings it back up.

Will they fit my calves?

There’s no zip over your calf. The zip stops at the ankle, and everything above it is stretch rib knit, so the shaft stretches instead of stopping at a zipper. Knit has a limit, though: on very full calves or thighs, it can sit a little lower than over the knee. Try them at home first. If the knit feels too tight, you have 30 days to exchange them or get store credit.

What size should I take?

Your usual US size: the size is for your foot. The foot is a closed Chelsea boot, so between two sizes, or with thick socks, take the larger one. The foot length of each size is under Size & fit, from US 6 to US 10.5. A wide foot takes the larger one too. US 11 and up: this pair will be too short.

Where will the top sit on me?

It’s cut to sit above the knee. On a petite frame, the top sits higher up the thigh. On a tall frame, it sits closer to the knee. Under a midi skirt or a long sweater dress, the top stays hidden.

Isn’t an over-the-knee boot a bit much?

Not this one. There’s no heel and no shine up the leg: a fine rib knit, a Chelsea foot, a lug sole. Under a sweater dress or a long skirt, most of the knit is hidden, and it reads as a tall boot, not a party boot.

Is it leather? Is it wool?

Neither. The foot is a smooth faux leather, and the shaft is a stretch rib knit. Care for both is under Materials & care.

Can I wear them in rain or snow?

The smooth foot and the lug sole are made for city sidewalks. The knit isn’t made for rain, slush or deep snow: on those days, keep your snow boots.

Where is the zip, and does it catch the knit?

The zip sits low on the inner side, from the top of the foot to the bottom of the knit. Pull the knit up out of the way, then zip.

Which color should I pick?

Black is the sleek one, with a black foot and a black lug sole. Cream is the soft one: a light cream knit with a cream foot and a cream sole, made for winter whites and camel coats.

Can I return or exchange them?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery, unworn and in their packaging: an exchange for another size or color, or store credit for the full amount. Return shipping is on you. Anything that arrives damaged or defective is on us, and we won’t ask you to send it back.

Size 8, my usual size, and the foot fits like my Chelsea boots. The zip is tiny and stops at the ankle, the rest is knit that just stretches over my calf. Wore them over tights with a sweater dress all day 🖤

Black, size 9 (I’m between 8.5 and 9 and took the bigger one, good call). No heel, so I actually walk in these. The lug sole is chunky in a good way and the knit reads as a tall boot, not a party boot.

Got the Cream in a 7.5 and the color is a soft cream, not bright white. The knit stays up over my knee under my camel coat and I didn’t pull them up once between the car and the office.
