Fit

Boots are where the brand gives the most data. Compare the published opening circumference with your calf before choosing a knee-high, and remember that knit and Lycra-lined styles hug the leg by design. Foot sizing follows the chart in our shoe size guide.

Which boot for which wardrobe

If you own one pair of boots, make it the Olivia: a knee-high in black vegan leather goes over jeans, under a midi skirt and with a short dress, and the 10.5 cm heel is the dressy height. If you dress casually, the Saylor platform ankle boot does the same work on a 9 cm heel with a round toe that is easier to walk in. The Riya cowboy boot suits denim and prairie dresses. The Reyna and the Sophia are second boots, the knit for cold days and the mesh for the in-between weeks. The Zoie is a metallic rain boot, a fun pair for wet weekends.

Care

Wipe vegan leather with a soft dry cloth and keep the boots upright on boot shapers so the shafts do not crease. Brush knit and faux fur gently and let them dry naturally away from heat. Mesh snags, so keep it away from Velcro and jewellery. The rain boot is the only pair meant for puddles.

How to wear them

Olivia with a short dress and a long coat, and over skinny jeans. Reyna with a midi knit dress. Sophia with a slip skirt so the mesh shows. Isabella with leggings and an oversized knit. Pair the boots with a soft shoulder bag such as the Yara for the autumn look.
