Thiberge Block Heel Knee-High Boots in Brown

Thiberge is a knee-high boot on a block heel with a round toe, and everything about it is deliberately unremarkable. No buckles, no lacing, no hardware, no pointed toe. Boots like this are the ones that get worn to the ground while the more interesting pairs sit in the cupboard, because there is no occasion they are wrong for.

Brown only, which suits the simplicity. It is warmer than black, works with denim, cream, camel and olive, and shows scuffing far less than a darker finish would. Wear it with jeans tucked in, with a midi skirt and tights, with a knee-length dress, or under wide trousers where only the toe shows.

Sizes run US 5 through 10 with half sizes at the lower end only, so 5.5, 6.5 are stocked but 7.5, 8.5 and 9.5 are not. The chart below lists exactly what exists. If your half size is missing, take the next size up rather than down, since a round toe has room to spare across the front.

• Silhouette: knee-high boot
• Heel: block heel
• Toe shape: round
• Closure: side zip
• Colourways: Brown
• Sizes: US 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9, 10

Foot length is measured heel to longest toe. Runs true to size, so order your usual size and go up half a size for a roomier fit.
