Ladies Slouch Boots
A slouch boot has a soft shaft that gathers in loose folds around the ankle or leg instead of standing straight. Ours run from ankle boots to calf and knee height. Most sit on a heel of around 4 to 7cm, and a few flat styles sit on a chunky sole. Uppers are suede, leather and soft textile, in black, browns, beige and burgundy. You'll find them from Caprice boots, Marco Tozzi boots, Paul Green boots, Rieker boots, Tamaris boots and Susst boots. We offer free delivery on orders over €69 and free returns within 30 days.
What's the difference between a slouch boot and a sock boot?
A sock boot is close-fitting, made from a stretch fabric that hugs the leg like a sock. A slouch boot is cut wider than the leg, so the shaft falls into folds. A few soft calf styles sit somewhere between the two and can be worn pulled up or pushed down. If you want a sleek line under a dress, look at our sock boots. For a softer, more relaxed look with jeans or a midi skirt, a slouch boot is the one.
Are slouch boots good if you have wider calves?
They're more forgiving than a fitted boot, because the shaft is cut loose by design, and most have an inside zip that runs up the leg. We don't list calf measurements, so if you're between styles, ring us on 01 8490847 and we can check a particular boot for you. For a fitted boot with stretch at the calf, have a look at our knee high & calf boots.
Do slouch boots come in wider fittings?
Some do. Most of the Caprice styles here are made on a G fitting, slightly wider than standard across the ball of the foot, and a couple of styles are on an H, the wide fitting. It's stated in the product details wherever a boot has one, and our size guide explains each fitting.
What size should I get?
It depends on the brand, and the sizing note on the individual product is the one to go by. With a slouch boot, the shaft is loose, so your heel and instep are what hold the boot on. Your heel should sit down in the back of the boot without lifting when you walk. Don't go up a size for room in the leg, because the foot will be too long. Try them indoors on carpet first. With free returns within 30 days, there's no risk in getting it right.
How do I look after suede slouch boots?
Suede and soft leather crease where the shaft folds, and that's part of the look. Store them standing up, with a boot shaper or a rolled-up magazine inside, so the folds don't set in the wrong place. Spray suede with a protector before the first wear. You'll find protector sprays and brushes in our shoe care section.
