Ruched Pull On Slouch Knee High Boots

A tall boot with no zip and no break in period. The shaft ruches down the leg in soft folds and finishes with a wide fold over cuff at the topline, which is what separates this pair from a plain slouch boot. The cuff gives the top a defined edge instead of letting the shaft trail away, and the toe below is sharply pointed, lengthening the whole line.

The heel is a low stacked block, enough to lift the arch without changing the way you walk. Pull on entry means there is no zip to catch in a fold, and because the shaft is soft it sits differently depending on whether you push it down at the ankle or leave it full to the knee. Both readings are correct, and the boot is built to be worn either way.

Alverra makes them in white, black and coffee brown across US 5.5 to US 12. The model wears a US 7 and the fit is true to size. Coffee brown is the easiest with denim, white is the one that changes a plain outfit, and black takes the pointed toe somewhere sharper. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.
