Craftsmanship & Materials
Every pair of our knee high boots begins its journey in the tanneries of Tuscany and the Veneto region, where our leather suppliers have perfected their craft over generations. We select only the finest hides—calfskin prized for its suppleness, suede chosen for its soft hand, and full-grain leather valued for its durability and natural beauty.
Our Italian manufacturing partners employ traditional Goodyear welting techniques, a construction method that allows the sole to be replaced while maintaining the boot’s structural integrity. This time-honoured process creates footwear that moulds to your foot over time, becoming more comfortable with each wear. The same attention to detail extends to every stitch, every seam, and every hardware element, ensuring our boots meet the exacting standards Russell & Bromley has maintained since 1873.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
Our russell and bromley knee high boots are designed on lasts developed specifically for the modern woman’s foot, with careful attention to both length and calf circumference. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size for most styles in our collection.
Classic Knee High Boot Fit
This style features a regular calf width (approximately 36-38cm circumference at the widest point) and runs true to size in length. The leather will relax slightly with wear, conforming to your leg shape over the first few wears.
Styling Your Knee High Boots
The versatility of knee high boots makes them essential for building a year-round wardrobe. We design our collection to transition seamlessly from office to evening, from weekend errands to special occasions.
For professional settings, pair our Classic Knee High Boot with tailored trousers or midi-length pencil skirts. The sleek silhouette creates an elongating line that works beautifully under trousers or with hemlines that hit just above the boot shaft. Many of our clients also appreciate how these styles complement the ankle boot options in their rotation, creating cohesive looks across seasons.

Your Questions About Our Knee High Boots
Consider your primary use case and personal style preferences. Our Classic Knee High Boot works beautifully for professional settings and offers the most traditional silhouette. If you need a boot for evening events or prefer a higher heel, the Stretch Suede Knee Boot provides drama with its stiletto heel and sleek fit. For casual weekend wear with a heritage aesthetic, the Riding Boot offers distinctive hardware details and a lower, more walkable heel. All three styles are crafted to the same exacting standards—the choice comes down to your wardrobe needs and aesthetic preferences.
Our knee high boots are designed on standard calf circumferences, but we offer options for different fits. The Stretch Suede Knee Boot features elastic side panels that accommodate calf measurements from 33-40cm comfortably. Our Classic style works well for regular calf widths of 36-38cm and will relax slightly with wear. The Riding Boot offers the most generous calf fit at 38-40cm. We recommend measuring your calf at its widest point and contacting our customer care team for personalized fit guidance if you're uncertain.
While our knee high boots are crafted from quality leather and suede, we recommend taking precautions in heavy rain. For smooth leather styles, a water-repellent spray provides excellent protection against light moisture. Suede boots should be treated with specialist suede protector before first wear and reapplied regularly. The rubber sole elements on all our boots provide grip in damp conditions. If your boots do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
With proper care and maintenance, our russell and bromley knee high boots are designed to provide years of wear. Many of our customers report wearing their boots for 5-10 years or longer with regular conditioning and occasional resoling. The Goodyear welt construction allows our cobbling team to replace worn soles while preserving the upper leather. We recommend professional cleaning annually and proper storage during off-season months. Quality leather actually improves with age, developing character and a personalized fit over time.
Shaft heights vary slightly by style but are measured from the arch of the foot to the top of the boot. Our Classic Knee High Boot has approximately 40cm shaft height, the Stretch Suede Knee Boot measures approximately 42cm, and the Riding Boot sits slightly lower at approximately 38cm. These measurements work beautifully for most heights, hitting just below the knee on women of average stature. If you're particularly tall or petite, please contact us for specific fit advice—we're happy to help you select the most flattering proportion.
