New Look has launched a pair of faux suede knee-high boots that offer a budget-friendly alternative to Gucci's £1,640 Suede Knee Boots, priced at just £59.99.
The Slim Calf Fit Brown Faux Suede Knee High Boots are described as versatile and elegant, suitable for styling with a range of autumn outfits. Available in sizes 3 to 9, they are already selling quickly as shoppers prepare for the new season.
Design and comfort
The boots are made from a soft faux suede with a relaxed, slouchy shaft that still holds its shape. They feature a light tan colour, a pointed toe, and a stiletto kitten heel measuring 2.2 inches, designed for comfort during extended wear.
Shoppers can style them with wide-leg jeans and a boxy T-shirt or jumper for a smarter casual look, or pair them with wide-leg trousers for the office. They also suit formal occasions under a midi skirt or dress, or a date-night outfit with a mini dress and longline coat.
Shopper reviews
The boots have received positive feedback from customers. One reviewer wrote: "Love these boots! Flattering, comfortable and stylish. They go with so many things. And they were on sale too. Dream purchase! I wish id been quicker and got a black pair too."
Another praised: "Really gorgeous boots, cushioned and comfortable. Not quite as slim at the top of the boot as suggested but these are really great. Slim at the ankle which is important when wearing with dresses/skirts."
However, some shoppers noted the calf fit was not as slim as expected. One wrote: "I bought these boots as they are sold as 'slim calf' but bearing in mind my BMI says I'm overweight (and although they look like straight shaft boots) the top, around the calf area, looks more like loose wellies. The material is quite soft so they flop around the leg." Another agreed: "Nice colour and quality - but for someone who has slim calves, these aren't all that slim, which is why I had to return them."
Despite this, others were satisfied, with one customer writing: "Gorgeous fit and colour - comfortable to wear as low heel."
