Faux Fur Boots: What They Are For and When to Wear Them

In this guide, faux fur boots means boots made with synthetic fur, either all over the boot, as detail on a suede boot, or as a lining. We suggest them for cold nights and for outfits built around texture. Choose the type first, then check the measurements and the size chart before you wear them anywhere.

What kinds of faux fur boots are there?

Faux fur boots come in three types.

All-over fur, where the whole upper is faux fur.
Suede with fur detail. The Demonia Furry Winter and Winter Solstice styles are vegan suede platform boots with faux fur detail. The black and white Furry Winter listings also give it a faux fur lining.
Shearling-lined. The Winter Glitch Edge boot has a man-made shearling lining and a rubber outsole.

When should you wear faux fur boots?

Our suggestion is cold nights and winter events. Three of the styles here are named for winter: Furry Winter, Winter Solstice and Winter Glitch Edge.

What do you wear with faux fur boots?

We suggest keeping the outfit simple so the boots stay the focus: shorts, a mini skirt, a bodysuit or a fitted dress.

Match one color in the outfit to the boots, or contrast them, such as white boots with an all-black look.
Try the outfit on with the boots before the night, to see where the hem sits against the shaft.

Our guide to what to wear to a rave covers the rest of the outfit.

Worth doing before the night Try the whole outfit on with the boots, not just the boots. What you are checking is where the hem lands against the shaft, and it is the one thing a mirror tells you and a product photograph cannot.

How should faux fur boots fit?

Where a listing gives a shaft height or calf circumference, check it against your own leg before you choose a size.

The Demonia Brown Winter Solstice is a lace-up mid-calf boot on a 2 3/4 inch platform. Its listing gives an approximate 11.8 inch shaft and 12.7 inch calf.
The Demonia Black Bear is a lace-up mid-calf boot on a 4 1/2 inch stacked platform, with a faux fur lining and an approximate 12.7 inch shaft and 13.3 inch calf.
The Demonia Furry Winter is a knee boot with a full inner side zip.
The Winter Glitch Edge has a 4.5 inch hidden wedge on a 2.5 inch platform and a pull-on closure.

For size, Anthony Wang, the maker of the Winter Glitch Edge, has its own chart. For most other brands, use our general shoe chart, which converts US sizing to UK and EU. Both are on our sizing page, and a measurement on a product page wins over any chart. For Demonia fit, read our Demonia boots guide, and for heel and platform numbers, our platform boots guide.

How do you clean faux fur boots?

Follow the care line on the listing where there is one. The listings for the boots in this guide do not give one, so ask us before you clean a pair.

Can you return faux fur boots?

Only unworn. Shoes with signs of wear, such as dirty soles, are not accepted, and a damaged shoe box adds a 20% restocking fee. You have 30 days from delivery to send a return, and it comes back as store credit. Defective, damaged or wrong items get a full refund instead, if you email us a photo within 14 days of receiving the order. Clearance items cannot be returned or exchanged, and Halloween costumes and accessories are size exchanges only. If you are not sure which rule covers a pair, ask us before you order. The full terms are on our returns page.
