Key Features
Premium Cow Leather Upper & Shaft
Soft, full‑grain cow leather provides a luxurious feel and resists creasing over time.
Leather is treated for water resistance, protecting against light rain, slush, and snow.
Above‑ankle shaft height offers added support around the ankle and a modern, streamlined profile.
Minimalist stitching details enhance durability and deliver a refined finish.
Plush Faux Fur Lining
High‑pile faux fur interior traps body heat, maintaining a warm microclimate inside the boot.
Petal‑soft texture feels gentle against the skin, preventing chafing and ensuring cozy comfort in sub‑zero conditions.
Lining extends into the shaft, so cold air is kept out even when you’re walking in blustery weather.
Pigskin Insole
Pigskin is inherently breathable and moisture‑wicking, helping prevent odor buildup and keeping feet dry.
Conforms to your foot’s unique contours over time, delivering personalized arch support and cushioning.
Anti‑bacterial properties reduce the risk of fungal growth, making these boots healthier for prolonged wear.
0–3 cm Platform Wedge & Flat Heel (≤1 cm)
Subtle platform height insulates your feet from icy ground and increases stability.
Wedge design distributes pressure evenly across the foot, reducing fatigue during long walks or extended standing.
Flat heel keeps the overall profile low‑key and comfortable, preventing strain on arches or Achilles tendons.
Non‑Slip Rubber Outsole
Durable TPR (thermo‑plastic rubber) compound resists wear and retains flexibility even in frigid temperatures.
Aggressive tread pattern delivers confident traction on wet sidewalks, slushy streets, and lightly powdered surfaces.
Reinforced toe and heel sections offer additional grip and protect against early wear.
Lace‑Up Closure
Six pairs of eyelets allow you to tighten or loosen the laces, achieving a custom fit across the instep and ankle.
Round waxed cotton laces resist fraying and stand up to frequent tying and untying.
Lacing system echoes classic riding‑boot aesthetics while ensuring the boot stays firmly in place.
Round Toe Shape
Roomy toe box allows natural splaying of toes, reducing the risk of blisters or bunions.
Supports extra wool or thermal sock layering without feeling cramped.
Maintains a balanced foot position, preventing forward slippage in colder conditions.
Handmade Craftsmanship
Each pair is hand‑stitched by skilled artisans, ensuring precise alignment, uniform stitching, and minimal glue marks.
Custom lasts shape the leather around the foot, providing a true‑to‑size fit that feels like an extension of your foot.
Quality checks at every production stage guarantee consistent color, finish, and structural integrity.
Color & Size Options
Available in Brown (classic, versatile) or Mustard Yellow (bold statement) to match a variety of winter palettes.
EU sizes 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40—fits true to size. If you wear thicker socks or have wider feet, consider sizing up by one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I determine my correct size?
RetroRide™ Platform Ankle Boots fit true to standard EU sizes. If you normally wear EU 38, order EU 38.
For those with wider feet or who intend to layer thick thermal socks, choose one size up to maintain comfort.
Measure your foot length (heel to longest toe) in centimeters, and consult our size chart. If you’re between sizes, lean toward the larger option.
Q: Are these Platform Ankle Boots fully waterproof?
The cow leather upper is treated to be water‑resistant, repelling light rain, slush, and snow.
While they handle damp conditions well, they are not fully submersible. For heavy downpours or deep puddles, we recommend applying a dedicated leather waterproofing spray.
Q: How warm are these Platform Ankle Boots in extreme cold?
With plush faux fur lining and a pigskin insole, RetroRide™ Platform Ankle Boots maintain foot temperatures down to approximately –5 °C (23 °F).
In milder climates (0–10 °C / 32–50 °F), they can perform as your go‑to daily boots without any additional layering.
Q: Can I walk long distances or stand for hours in these Platform Ankle Boots?
Absolutely. The combination of a cushioned pigskin insole and evenly distributed wedge platform reduces foot strain, making them ideal for long city walks, commuting, or standing at outdoor events.
Q: What is the best way to care for the leather and lining of the Platform Ankle Boots?
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth or suede brush (for scuffs) to remove surface dirt and debris.
Protection: Apply a quality leather conditioner or waterproofing spray before first wear and every few weeks thereafter.
Drying: If the Platform Ankle Boots get wet, stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture, and let them air dry away from direct heat (radiators, heaters, sunlight).
Maintenance: Gently brush the faux fur lining after each wear to keep it fluffy and to prevent matting. Occasionally wipe the pigskin insole with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry completely.
Q: How do I break in my RetroRide™ Platform Ankle Boots without compromising shape?
Start by wearing them indoors for short periods an hour at a time while wearing a thin sock. This allows the leather to gently stretch and conform to your foot.
Gradually increase wear time (couple of hours, then half days). Avoid forcing or over‑stretching the leather; it will naturally adapt by the third or fourth wear.
Q: Can these Platform Ankle Boots be resoled or repaired if they wear down?
Yes. Because they’re handcrafted with high‑quality leather and a stitched outsole, they can be taken to a professional cobbler for resoling or minor repairs—extending their lifespan for years to come.
Invest in warmth, comfort, and timeless style this winter—choose RetroRide™ Lace‑Up Platform Ankle Boots for an elegant equestrian look backed by practical performance.
