Description
Knee-high platform boots with a shaft that slouches
These knee-high platform boots from Step in style stand on a 12.5 cm block heel and a 3.5 cm platform. The shaft is 42 cm high and made to sag: it folds into soft creases above the ankle and stands straight again towards the knee.
The upper is faux leather and you pull the boots on, with no zip. They come in beige and in black, in sizes 36 to 41.

The piece: models 202603 and 202604 by Step in style
The beige pair is model 202603 and the black pair 202604.
The maker describes a pull-on boot on a platform with a post heel, rounded toes and a creased upper. The wholesaler files it under over-the-knee boots. With a 42 cm shaft it ends just below the knee on the model, so we call it knee-high.
Who they're for
For you if you like height and know how to walk in it. The platform takes 3.5 cm off the slope, so the foot sits at the angle of a heel of about 9 cm, but you are still standing 12.5 cm off the ground at the back.
The maker says the platform and post heel give stability. A wide heel does help. It does not turn these into flat shoes.
Closer look: maker's data and photos
- Faux leather upper (maker's data)
- Platform of 3.5 cm and a post heel of 12.5 cm (maker's data)
- Pull-on, rounded toe (maker's data)
- Creased, slouchy shaft, 42 cm high (maker's data, photos)
- Double-layer platform edge and a thick flared block heel (photos)
- Smooth surface with a soft sheen (photos)
The maker's table mentions a lining ("shoe cover") without naming the material. We make no claim about warmth.
Materials and build: faux leather on a platform
The maker lists the upper as artificial leather. We call it faux leather: man-made, no animal hide. It looks supple in the photos, which it has to be for the shaft to fold the way it does.
Sole, platform and heel materials are not stated. The platform has a visible seam line, so it looks like two stacked layers, and the heel widens slightly towards the ground.
Size and measurements
Insole lengths: 23 cm in size 36, 24 cm in 37, 24.5 cm in 38, 25 cm in 39, 25.5 cm in 40 and 26 cm in 41. Measure your foot and choose the insole a little longer than that.
There is no zip, so the foot has to pass the ankle of the boot. If you have a high instep, go up when you are between sizes. The maker gives no calf width. The shaft is cut loose so it can slouch.

Styling: short above, tall below
The photos show them on bare legs with a short hem, and that is where they look right. A mini skirt, a blazer dress or an oversized knit that ends mid-thigh all leave room for the shaft.
The beige pair is a statement in winter and looks fresh with cream and camel. The black pair is easier: black tights, a short black dress, done. Skinny trousers tucked in also work, as long as the fabric is thin.
Occasions
These are evening and event boots: a night out, a party, a concert, a festive dinner. With this heel height they are not for a day of walking, and we would keep them out of heavy rain.
Care
The maker's data has no care instructions. Faux leather in general wipes clean with a soft damp cloth. Store the boots upright, or with paper in the shafts, so the slouch stays soft and does not set into hard creases. Keep them away from heaters.
The wow detail: a slouch on a platform
Slouchy boots are usually flat or low. Platform boots are usually stiff and straight. This pair puts the relaxed shaft on the tall, hard base, and the contrast is the whole look. The soft folds sit right above a sole that means business.
