Nyomi Tall Boot
We designed the Nyomi tall boot for the person who wants refined style without sacrificing comfort. Crafted from supple full-grain leather, this knee-high silhouette features a cushioned footbed and a stable 2.5-inch block heel that carries you through long days on your feet.
We source full-grain leather for the Nyomi because it’s the highest-quality cut of the hide. Unlike corrected or bonded leather, full-grain retains the natural texture and strength of the material, developing a rich patina over time.
Sizing and fit guidance
The open edit Nyomi tall boot runs true to US women’s sizing. We recommend ordering your usual size in dress shoes or boots. The toe box offers a medium width that accommodates most foot shapes without pinching.
Shaft circumference measures 15 inches at the widest point, which fits calves comfortably without gaping. If you typically wear boots over thick socks or leggings, the leather will stretch slightly during the first week of wear to accommodate layering.
Care instructions for lasting quality
Wipe down your Nyomi boots with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner formulated for aniline or semi-aniline finishes — avoid household soaps that strip natural oils.
Apply a leather conditioner every 4-6 weeks to keep the material supple. We recommend a cream-based product rather than spray formulas, which can leave uneven coverage. Work the conditioner into the shaft and vamp in circular motions, then let it absorb for 20 minutes before buffing with a clean cloth.

Questions about the Nyomi tall boot
Most customers report the boots feel comfortable from the first wear due to the cushioned insole and supple leather. You may notice slight stiffness in the shaft during the first 2-3 wears as the leather relaxes and molds to your leg shape.
The footbed compresses slightly over the first week, which is normal for cushioned insoles. If you experience any rubbing at the heel, wear the boots with thicker socks for the first few days to help the leather stretch in that area.
Yes, the Nyomi has a removable insole that allows you to replace it with custom orthotics. The boot is designed with a standard footbed depth, so most slim to medium-profile orthotics will fit without making the boot feel too tight.
If you use thicker orthotic inserts, we recommend ordering a half size up to ensure adequate room in the toe box. The side zipper provides flexibility for adjusting the fit around your ankle and lower leg.
The shaft measures 15 inches in circumference at the widest point, approximately 2 inches below the top of the boot. This measurement fits most calf sizes comfortably without pinching or gaping.
The leather will stretch slightly with wear — typically about half an inch over the first month. If you plan to wear thick socks or tuck pants into the boots regularly, the material will accommodate that extra layer after breaking in.
The full-grain leather has natural water resistance that protects against light drizzle and splashes, but the boots are not fully waterproof. We don’t recommend wearing them in heavy rain, snow, or standing water.
You can enhance water protection by applying a leather waterproofing spray designed for aniline finishes. Test any product on a small hidden area first to ensure it doesn’t darken or change the leather’s appearance.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, then dip a soft cloth into the solution and wring it until just damp. Gently wipe the salt-stained areas in circular motions, being careful not to saturate the leather.
Let the boots air-dry completely, then apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture. Salt can be very drying, so conditioning after removal is essential to prevent cracking. For stubborn stains, repeat the process or consult a professional leather cleaner.
The full-grain leather is breathable compared to synthetic materials, but the 16-inch shaft provides more coverage than ankle boots. Many customers wear them in spring and early fall when temperatures range from 50-70°F without overheating.
If you live in a warmer climate, consider pairing the boots with lighter fabrics like linen or cotton blends. The rounded toe and block heel also make them comfortable for indoor wear in air-conditioned offices during summer months.
We offer free returns within 60 days of purchase. The boots must be in unworn condition with all original packaging and tags attached. If you’ve worn them and they’re not the right fit, we can offer an exchange for a different size within 30 days.
Your order includes a prepaid return label — just pack the boots in the original box, attach the label, and drop them at any carrier location. Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days of receiving your return.
