Tabi Boots & Ankle Boots

Boots for the colder half of the year: tabi boots, Chelsea and square toe boots, sock boots, knee high riding boots, western and lace-up styles. All vegan — vegan leather and other animal-free materials, no leather or suede anywhere — and all built to walk in.

Tabi boots

Tabi boots are the split toe taken into a boot silhouette, and they are the reason most people find this collection. Daria Black Leather Tabi Boots keep it structured; Isolde Tabi Ankle Boots are the ankle-height version with a rounded toe and a block heel. The hem and sock rules that stop a tabi boot looking like a costume are in how to style tabi boots.

Chelsea, square toe and sock boots

Odessa Square Toe Chelsea Boots: elastic gussets, no laces, a squared toe that reads more current than the classic almond. Sabra Square Toe Ankle Boots are the sharper square toe ankle boots, cut close to the leg on a slim tapered heel with no zip and no hardware. Fenn Square Toe Sock Boots are the stretch version: sock boots that pull on, hold the ankle and never gap, in black or brown.

Knee high and riding boots

Larkin Knee High Riding Boots run a smooth shaft to just under the knee with buckle straps at the top and the ankle, on a lugged sole built for pavement. Black knee high boots are the pair that replaces a legging and a heel at once. Wilder Buckle Rider Boots are the mid-calf moto version with double buckles and a chunky sole.

Western and lace-up boots

Cassidy Pointed Toe Western Boots bring the cowboy shape without the costume: pointed toe, stacked heel, clean shaft. Verity Lace-Up Square Toe Boots wrap a cord lace around a soft sock-style shaft over a sharp square toe.

Platform and snow boots

For height and for weather. Platform styles add the lift without a heel; snow boots handle actual conditions rather than looking like they might.

How to wear them

Tabi boots with wide-leg trousers so the toe shows. Chelsea and sock boots with straight denim and a sheer sock showing above the shaft. Knee high boots over slim denim or under a midi skirt. Western boots under a long skirt. Boots are where whimsigoth outfits usually get grounded. Split toe boots take split toe socks.
