Description
Faux suede knee-high boots with a soft, slouchy shaft
These faux suede knee-high boots have no zip. You pull them on, and the wide shaft settles around the leg in soft folds. The toe is pointed and the heel is slim and 7 cm high.
Step in Style makes them in beige and in a dark brown. The shaft is 57 cm tall. To be clear about the material: the maker lists imitation suede, so this is a textile with a suede look.

The piece: models 216996 and 216997 by Step in Style
The maker describes knee-high boots for autumn and winter, slipped on, set on a slim stiletto heel, with a pointed toe. The data sheet adds the numbers: a 57 cm upper, a 7 cm heel and a fabric lining.
This page used to say suede and low kitten heel. Neither was right. The upper is imitation suede and a 7 cm heel is a mid-height heel. We changed the name.
Who it's for
For you if you want a tall boot that does not grip the calf. The shaft is wide and soft, so calf width is rarely an issue; the fold simply sits differently on each leg.
You should be comfortable on a thin 7 cm heel. The beige runs from size 36 to 41. The brown is down to a few sizes, so check the buttons.
Closer look: what the maker's data and the photos show
- Imitation suede upper (maker's data); matte, brushed surface (photos)
- Fabric lining (maker's data)
- Pull-on, no fastening (maker's data); wide shaft that slouches and can be folded down (photos)
- Shaft height 57 cm (maker's data); to the knee on the model (photos)
- Slim stiletto heel of 7 cm (maker's data)
- Pointed toe (maker's data and photos)
Materials and build: imitation suede, fabric lining
The maker's data sheet names the upper as imitation suede and the lining as fabric. There is no animal suede in these boots.
The sheet says nothing about the sole, and it makes no claim about rain or snow. We will not make one either. A brushed textile like this shows water marks, so treat them as dry-weather boots.
Size and dimensions: insole, shaft and heel
The maker gives the insole length per size: 23.5 cm for 36, 24.5 cm for 37, 25 cm for 38, 25.5 cm for 39, 26 cm for 40 and 26.5 cm for 41. Compare that with your own foot length plus a little room for the pointed toe.
The shaft is 57 cm tall. Measure 57 cm up from the floor along your leg to see where it ends on you. On the model it reaches the knee and slouches below it.

Styling: short hems and bare knees, or over slim jeans
The maker suggests dresses and skirts as well as casual outfits. The photos show them with a short dress and bare legs.
A knitted dress that ends above the knee leaves a strip of leg between hem and boot, which is the classic way to wear them. Over slim jeans or leggings they work for every day. Fold the shaft down for a shorter boot with a cuff.
Occasions
They are boots for autumn and winter, according to the maker. We would wear them to dinner, to the office with a midi skirt and to a party in December.
For a long day on your feet or wet streets, pick a lower, tougher shoe.
Care: brush, do not soak
The maker's data has no care instructions. If a care card comes in the box, follow that.
Our general advice for suede-look textile: brush off dry dirt with a soft brush, dab stains with a slightly damp cloth and let the boots dry away from a heater. Store them upright or stuffed so the soft shaft does not crease in one place.
The wow detail: the slouch
A stiff boot looks the same on everyone. This one does not. The soft shaft folds where your leg and your stride tell it to, so the line changes when you walk. Pull it up for a clean column or push it down for more folds.
