The print

Dusty pink cabbage roses, wild violets in full bloom, amanita mushrooms, curling fern fronds, and a crescent moon half-hidden near the collar, all painted on warm antique gold, like a botanical journal left open in the afternoon sun. The Herbarium is made for the one who knows the name of every plant in the forest and finds that knowledge genuinely powerful.

The material

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.

Between two rows? Take the larger size. If your feet tend to swell, or you like a roomier fit, go up half a size.

How to measure your foot

  1. Stand on a sheet of paper on a hard floor, in the socks you will wear with your boots.
  2. Mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe. Hold the pen straight up.
  3. Measure between the two marks. Do both feet and use the longer one.

Tip: measure in the afternoon. Feet swell a little through the day.

Standard or Wide?

Wide is the same length as Standard, with more room around your foot. Order your usual size. Never size up for width.

What Wide adds
Around the ball of the foot+1/2 in 13 mm
Over the top of the foot+1/2 in 13 mm
Around the arch+1/2 in 13 mm
Across the widest part, flat+3/16 in 5 mm
LengthSame

These boots are amazing. I always have trouble finding nice boots in my fit. I have feet that need a wide fit. You can get basic and boring boots but even they, although supposedly wide fit, are never that comfortable. These are so, so comfortable. I have never in all my years found a boot as comfortable as these and I’m no spring chicken. It’s like putting my feet into a comfortable pair of supportive slippers. I almost cried when I tried them on. Where have you been all these years I’ve been struggling to get lovely boots that feel so comfortable I could where them all day and still not want to take them off. My only decision now is which ones to buy next.
Please, please can you do wide fit in your other designs. ❤️❤️❤️

Good questions

Asked before ordering.

Will these fit wide feet?

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.

Are these boots actually durable?

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.

How long does shipping take?

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.

What's your return policy?

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

Same print, other shapes

The rest of the outfit.

Herbarium also comes as a tote, socks, high tops and a winter boot with a cream faux-fur cuff.
