Black knee-high lace-up boots with a zip for busy mornings
Lacing all the way up the shaft looks great and takes forever. These boots by Step in Style solve that with a zip. You set the laces once, and after that you zip in and out.
The shaft is 34 cm high and the block heel 6 cm, according to the maker's data. The maker states the upper is leather and says the boots are insulated for colder days. They come in black, in sizes 36 to 40.

The piece: model 217765 by Step in Style
The supplier describes boots with a rock character, set on a stable block heel. The entire upper is decorated with lacing, and a zipper makes it quick to put them on. Insulation is mentioned for colder days, and the maker places them in autumn and winter outfits.
In the photos you see a round toe, a thick ridged sole and a pull tab at the back. The zip runs along the inside of the leg, from the sole to the top.
About the material: the supplier's data says leather twice, in the description and in the attribute list. We pass that on as the maker's statement and have not tested it ourselves.
Who they are for
For you if you want a tall boot with some attitude that you can still walk in all day. A 6 cm block heel on a thick sole gives height without the wobble of a stiletto.
The maker lists no calf width. The lacing lets you adjust the shaft a little, but if you have wide calves, ask us before ordering and we will try to get a measurement.

Materials and build: leather, according to the maker
The maker's attribute list names leather as the material. There is no breakdown per part, so we cannot tell you what the lining, the insole or the sole are made of. The insulation is mentioned without a material.
In the photos the upper is smooth and matte with a fine grain. Photos cannot confirm a material, which is why we attribute the claim to the maker.
Size and dimensions: check the insole
The maker gives an insole length for each size, from 23.5 cm in 36 to 25.5 cm in 40, in steps of half a centimetre. Measure your foot and add a little room for a winter sock.
The shaft is 34 cm. On the model that ends just below the knee, so on shorter legs it may reach the knee.

Styling: bare knees or tucked-in jeans
The photos show them with bare legs, which sets the boots against skin and makes the lacing stand out. A short skirt or a knitted dress with tights does the same in winter.
Skinny jeans or leggings tuck in easily. For contrast, try them under a long floaty dress. The heavy sole keeps the outfit grounded.
When to wear them
The maker suggests autumn and winter. They suit city days, concerts and commutes on cold pavements. With insulation and a thick sole they are made for walking outside, though the maker makes no claim about rain.
Care: no instructions from the maker
The maker's data has no care instructions. Check the label or leaflet in the box when the boots arrive, and use a care product that is meant for the material.
A general habit for tall boots: store them upright with something in the shaft, so they do not crease at the ankle.
The wow detail: laces and a zip
Count the eyelets in the photo and you understand why the zip matters. The lacing runs from the instep to the top of the shaft. It gives the boot its character, and the zip means you never have to undo it.
