Ankle boots
The Soft nappa ankle boot is the everyday boot: goat leather, a 65 mm heel, a leather sole, in black, bark and chai. The Soft suede version is the same shape; the Slim ankle boots in naplack and suede sit on a kitten heel with a pointed toe; the grained-leather ankle boot is the sturdiest.
Chelsea boots
The Zipped Chelsea boots swap the elastic gusset for a tonal back zip, in smooth leather, suede and croco-embossed leather, on a low heel. They are the flat boot for the trousers.
Knee-high and over-the-knee
The Downtown boots are the knee-high nappa on a confident block heel, in black and brown; the Day boots are over-the-knee in stretch nappa on a tapered kitten heel, first shown on the fall 2025 runway; the Croco wide-shaft boot and the nappa over-the-knee are the statement tall boots.
Winter and shearling
The fold-down shearling boots in black and pepper, the shearling-edge winter boots and the Bar glossy leather boots on the 85 mm heel with a tonal zip are the cold-weather pieces.
Sizing and fit
EU 35 to 42, true to size, no half sizes; go up in a closed boot if you are a half size. The stretch nappa styles hug the leg. The shoe size guide converts.

“The Totême woman doesn’t like to swap her style or wardrobe each season, she has a certain uniform that she sticks to. But then everyone wants something unique and new each season, and so does the Totême woman,” Elin Kling told WWD when the house took on Altor as a minority investor in 2021.
