A red fox among foxglove bells, fern fronds and three-petal trillium, on forest green.
★★★★★ 4.88 · 17 reviews$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.

“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.”
Saw these boots on Facebook and knew I had to have them! The hardest part was figuring out whether to order a regular or wide width. Jenny helped me after many back and forths to figure out the right size. Once the order was placed, they came very quickly considering that they had to be made and shipped from China.
I love everything about these boots! They are super comfy all around, look just as they appear in the pictures, and are worth every penny! They’re my new favorite item of clothing! The foxes are significant to me as I have Foxes in my ancestry, and the flowers and ferns have added significance since I am an avid gardener and nature lover! Don’t hesitate one bit to order these beautiful, wearable, works of art!
Not only are these boots the most comfortable, they are like wearing a painting. Great for hiking or just walking around looking adorable!
Absolutely stunning! It's a gift so they will be over the moon!
Ohhh the fox got me. As a redhead, she is my spirit animal! The three leaved trilliums are a favorite too, for my Irish side. The art work is absolutely gorgeous. I literally squealed with delight when I opened the package. I have never, ever seen boots so beautiful!! I almost hate to wear them out and risk getting them dirty, but I can't wait to flaunt them. They aren't just beautiful to look at...about the fit...I cannot believe they really are as advertised, but they are! Nice roomy toebox, lots of room for my wide feet, even with socks on - unheard of. No foot slippage in the heel, and they felt great the minute I tried them on. I was a bit nervous buying them, but they are the real deal, and I'm so glad I did! Customer service is great too, they keep you up to date on what is happening. If you can treat yourself, please do (especially during the fall witchy season) - look at those designs! Those colors!
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.
I've only worn these boots once so far and I immediately got comments from friends and strangers on these delightful boots with the foxes on them They are so cute! I got the vegan ones and they are very comfy, especially with the memory sole
I love how they look and how wide they are but they need longer laces and a softer insole very well done on the design of the fox and the stitches
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!

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!
These actually have enough room for my toes! They are a little on the wide side (I didn’t order wide) but that’s totally fine. I can wear thicker socks. Or put an insole in them. They are very well made with very nice padding. I may have been able to size down but I like having a bit of extra room.
the boots were beautiful but I needed to return them. the customer service was excellent
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!
the boots are sooooo cute in person. comfy and stylish
Love these boots. They are comfortable, beautiful and have good traction. In the WV mountains, traction is a necessity.
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Received them yesterday and immediately tried them on and they fit perfectly (7)… I didn’t want to take them off…. Here I am walking around in my nightgown with my new boots on!!! What a sight 😊. The tote bag is gorgeous!! Much larger than I expected which is awesome because this will be my carry on bag I am taking to Italy next month. Both the boots and bag will be my “best friends”… Love,love, love these boots!!! So glad I found Skatheia🦋🦋🦋
Look beautiful! Haven’t worn them yet nut i tried them in and they fit true to size. Communications from the vendor kept me informed all along the way. Sonexcited to wear these this fall and winter.
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!
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
Same print, other shapes
Vulpina also comes as a tote, socks, a mug and a winter boot with a cream faux-fur cuff.
Keep walking
