Sylvan collection · Leather Boots
A red fox among foxglove bells, fern fronds and three-petal trillium, on forest green.
$179.99 Shipping calculated at checkout.
A sitting red fox watches from the left boot: amber eyes, rust fur, white-tipped tail. Around it, foxglove bells, fern fronds and koru fiddleheads spiral up from the toe, and three-petal trillium frames the toe box. The right boot carries the flora without the fox.
Microfiber (Vegan) Leather. A soft matte microfiber upper, 1.4 mm, with a water-based coating. Soft from the first wear with no break-in, light on the foot, and no chemical smell when you open the box. It barely stretches, so order the size you measure.
Part of this range is kept in stock, the rest is made to order. Allow 5 to 10 business days for production if your size isn't on the shelf, and 2 to 5 weeks in total from order to doorstep.
US shipping is $14.99, plus $9.99 for each extra pair, with import duties pre-paid. Something wrong? Write to cs@skatheia.com within 30 days.

Reviews
Be the first to tell us how yours wear in. Until then, read what wearers say about the other prints.
“The fox was what started it all. I love the way this boot looks, but what I love most of all is the wide fit. It truly is wide. No more cramping of the toes. Well made and a beautiful fit! I highly recommend this, especially if you have wide feet and are used to being cramped. You couldn't ask for better.”
“Great boots, great customer service. The boots are well made, fit is true to size, a little roomier so they’re comfortable for a wider foot. And the artwork is positively beautiful!”
“Roomy fit. Beautiful design. I need better arch support but I'm going to drop in some different insoles. Can't wait for fall weather so I can start wearing these!”
“Love these boots. They are comfortable, beautiful and have good traction. In the WV mountains, traction is a necessity.”
“Love these boots!! Sooo comfortable, and the colors and patterns are outstanding. As a Rennie, these will be staples for some awesome Garb. Thank you to Jennie and all the folks! My feet are big. They accommodated that! Love! Love! Love these boots!”
“I just received my beautiful fox boots. These will be the boots I'll wear when I go out. These boots are well made, fit perfect and are comfortable.”
Pick another print
Any design, any size. It drops to $0.00 in your cart, so two pairs cost the same as one.
Good questions
Yes. Choose Wide: it is a separate last with +1/2 in (13 mm) around the ball, instep and midfoot, and the same length as Standard. Order the size you already wear, not a size up. The Wide Fit Guide has every measurement.
The outsoles are heat-bonded: cemented, then oven-cured. There is a steel shank inside for arch support, and the cushioned foam insole lifts out if you prefer your own orthotics. Built for daily wear, not for a shelf.
Some sizes ship from stock. The rest are made to order, which adds 5 to 10 business days of production. Either way, plan on 2 to 5 weeks in total, and you get a tracking number by email when your pair ships.
You have 30 days from delivery to contact us, and one size exchange per order. That exchange ships free on US orders that include Delivery & Fit Protection. Without it, and on all international orders, you cover shipping both ways. Full details
