Kiboots

Our collection combines the beauty and functionalism of traditional, hand- crafted artistry with modern geometric shapes. Our boots have a generous, slouchy, feminine shaped shaft and is paired with a 2,5 cm stacked wooden heel. There are no zippers.

Construction

The complete Kiboots collection is entirely hand made. From the hand woven Kilim fabric to our leather sole, these qualities make for a beautiful, custom fitting collection. Each pair of Kiboots is truly unique.

Kilim rugs

All of the kilim rugs used in the Kiboots collection are handpicked and collected by the designers themselves. The kilim rugs vary in age in between 25 up to over 100 years old and are recycled in a respected way. Due to the natural dyes and hand weaving used to create the kilim, color, pattern, and texture will vary from pair to pair.

Vegetable leather

Only the best vegetable leather is used in the Kiboots collection. Because of the nature and quality of the skins selected, each pair of boots will be unique. Natural marks and variations in shade will vary from pair to pair. All of the boots are treated with natural (olive) oil only.

Finding the perfect fit

The more you wear your Kiboots, the better they fit. Kiboots are built to fit. Much like your favorite pair of jeans they will begin to fit you and only you. Our boots will mold to your feet as you wear them. Over time they will become uniquely yours with a custom feel.

Pointy boot 

We recommend sizing up vs. sizing down for those who are in-between whole sizes for our pointy boot as the leather upper will not stretch significantly.

Regular boot

We recommend sizing down vs. sizing up for those who are in-between whole sizes for our regular boot. 

Trying on and taking off.

Kiboots recommends the following when trying to find the right boots for you.

Try on with the type of sock, stocking, or tights that you anticipate wearing the boots with in order to determine the correct size.

The perfect fit

When trying on, be mindful of pulling on the top of the boot as the leather trim is not meant for this. Pull on the shaft of the boot if the fit is snug.

Heel slippage

When walking in the boot your heel will slip slightly until the mold to your custom fit. After which, the slippage should decrease over time.

Care instruction

Kiboots will age beautifully, gaining a wonderful patina if cared for and respected. Only use leather professionals to treat, clean, and condition your Kiboots. Only use qualified cobblers or shoe repair stores to replace the rubber heelpiece when needed. For daily care we recommend:

Kilim upper

All Kilim fabrics are made by hand using natural dyes, which are sealed by a strong organic compound to avoid running of the color. Please use mild soap and water to clean the Kilim fabric gently.

Leather  

a shoe brush will generally take off most dried dirt, mud, or other residue from the leather.

Heel

replace the rubber heelpiece after normal wear, prior to eroding any of the actual heels.
