The piece: model 184041
The wholesaler lists these boots as model 184041 under the name Step in style. The supplier describes them as boots with a shaft that stops before the knee, made of an imitation suede that is pleasant to the touch, set on a post heel and finished with fine stitching.
The heel counter is stiffened, which the supplier mentions as a feature. The boots close with a zip. That corrects the earlier title of this page, which called them pull-on boots and spoke of suede without saying it is imitation.
The supplier's category is over-the-knee boots, but the shaft height of 34 cm and the photos both put them below the knee.
Who these boots are for
For you if you want a dressy boot that works with skirts and dresses through autumn and winter. The pointed toe and the heel lengthen the leg.
A 9 cm heel is high. The heel in the photos is a block with a waist, wider at the top and the bottom, which gives more contact with the ground than a stiletto. You still need to be at ease on heels.
Closer look: what the maker's data and the photos show
- Upper in imitation suede (maker's data)
- Footbed in imitation leather (maker's data)
- Pointed toe (photos)
- Block heel of 9 cm, narrower in the middle (maker's data and photos)
- Shaft 34 cm high, to just under the knee (maker's data and photos)
- Zip along the shaft (maker's data and photos)
- Stiffened heel counter and fine stitching (maker's data)
- Soft shaft that creases a little at the ankle (photos)
The maker does not state the lining or the sole material. The supplier text puts the zip on the outside of the boot.
Materials and build: imitation suede
The upper is imitation suede, a textile with a brushed surface that looks like suede. The supplier's text uses a greener word for it; the data field says imitation leather suede. The footbed is imitation leather.
In the photos the material is matte and soft enough to fold at the ankle. That softness is why the shaft follows the calf without a stiff tube shape.
Size and fit: insole and shaft
Go by the insole length. Size 36 is 24 cm, 37 is 24.5 cm, 38 is 25 cm, 39 is 26 cm, 40 is 26.5 cm and 41 is 27 cm. A pointed toe takes up length that your toes cannot use, so do not size down.
The shaft is 34 cm high. Measure from the floor up your leg to see where that ends. The maker gives no calf width, and the photos show a shaft that sits close to a slim calf.

Styling: under a hem
In the photos the boots are worn with bare legs and a beige trench coat. The idea is a hem that meets or covers the top of the boot.
A midi skirt or a knitted dress that ends below the knee hides the top of the shaft and makes one long line. With a shorter skirt, black tights do the same job.
When to wear them
The supplier says you will use them in many outfits. We see the office, a dinner and a night at the theatre.
Imitation suede and puddles do not mix well, so choose another pair for a wet day.
Care: what we know and what we don't
The maker's data has no care instructions. Follow the leaflet in the box if there is one.
For suede-look materials in general, a soft dry brush lifts dust, and boot shapers or rolled paper keep a soft shaft from folding in the wardrobe.
The wow detail: the heel
Look at the heel from the side. It starts wide under the foot, narrows in the middle and flares again where it meets the ground, like an hourglass. It gives a tall boot a lighter look than a straight block would, and it is the one curve on a boot made of straight lines.
