Product Type: Boots

A slouchy boot is the one tall boot that is supposed to wrinkle, which is exactly why it is the easiest to wear. Forever builds Gentle-61 on that idea: a dark brown faux leather shaft that falls into soft folds at mid calf, a block heel of just 1 inch, and a side zipper so the slouch never has to be dragged over your heel.

  • Nearly flat heel. One inch of block heel, low enough for a full day on your feet.
  • 13 inch shaft. Forever measures the shaft at 13 inches, which puts the upper edge at mid calf.
  • Zip and stretch. A side zipper opens the boot, and hidden elastic sits at the opening.
  • Light to carry. Forever describes the build as lightweight, which you notice most at the end of a long day.

How to Wear Slouchy Boots

How to wear slouchy boots comes down to one rule: whatever goes inside the shaft stays slim. Leggings, tights and narrow jeans tuck in cleanly, and the folds then read as the detail of the outfit. Wide or bootcut denim fights the shaft for the same space, so save those for an ankle boot. With dresses and skirts, remember that the slouch already adds volume at the calf. Skirts that finish above the knee work, and so does a long midi that drops over the top of the boot, while a hem that stops exactly where the boot ends cuts the leg in two.

Checking the 14 Inch Opening

The top of the shaft measures about 14 inches around before the elastic stretches. Wrap a tape around the widest part of your calf, over the leggings or jeans you plan to tuck in, and compare. Under 14 inches, the boot zips with room to spare and the shaft slouches freely. Right around 14, the hidden elastic supplies the last bit of room, and the shaft will sit higher and smoother because it has less slack to fold. A slouch needs spare room to happen, so the measurement tells you what look you will get as well as whether it fits.

Which Gentle-61 Size to Order

Forever lists Gentle-61 as true to size. It is made in US women's 5 to 10 with half sizes up to 8.5, so a 9.5 orders the 10. Man-made uppers do not stretch with wear, so the fit on day one is the fit you keep. A 1 inch heel keeps your weight spread across the whole foot instead of tipping it onto the toes, so there is no need to size up the way some people do for a high heel.

Jeans, Storage and Slouch Season

How do you wear slouchy boots with jeans? Pick skinny or straight jeans, push the hem down to the ankle bone and let the boot fold over it. Extra denim bunched at the knee is what makes a tucked leg look bulky, so cuff any spare length flat around the ankle before you zip.

Do slouchy boots stay up on their own? They settle, and that is the design. Pull the shaft up as far as it goes when you zip, then let it drop; it stops where your calf widens. Leggings or a knee sock with some grip give the folds something to rest on, while bare skin and slippery tights let them slide lower.

Should slouch boots be stored folded or upright? Upright, with each shaft loosely stuffed. The soft rolls you see when the boots are worn are harmless, but a sharp crease pressed in for months under other shoes is where faux leather starts to crack. A rolled towel inside each shaft is enough, and keep them away from radiators, since heat dries the coating.

When do people start wearing slouchy boots? Interest in styling them climbs every September and runs highest in October and November, which matches when tights and leggings come back out. Mid calf faux leather is a cool weather boot, and that is when it looks most at home.
