A winter evolution of our beloved Miro Loafer, the Poet Boot translates classic "loafer DNA" into a sophisticated ankle-high boot. Crafted from couture black tumbled leather with a subtle, light-catching sheen, it features a ruched apron, a traditional penny strap, and a playful double tassel. The refined almond toe and hidden side zip create a seamless, sculptural look that pairs effortlessly with winter hosiery. Inside, our signature Electric Peach sheepskin lining and 4mm memory foam offer buttery softness, while the flexible rubber dress sole and 24mm heel provide a graceful, sturdy foundation for all-day wear.

Details & Construction

Leather Upper | Leather Lined | Rubber Outsole

Upper:
The Poet Boot is executed in couture black tumbled leather, offering a sophisticated sheen that catches the light while remaining effortlessly wearable. Borrowing from classic loafer DNA, the design features a ruched, pleated apron, a penny loafer strap across the vamp, and a decorative double tassel. Defined by its almond toe shape, the Poet offers a hidden side zip with a custom-branded silver pull tab for a seamless silhouette. The shaft finishes just above the ankle, making it the perfect companion for midi skirts or tights. As a signature finishing touch, our blue Morse code spelling “RY” is embroidered at the rear, a discreet nod to the “secret language” of Radical Yes.

Inside:
Lined in our signature Electric Peach sheepskin leather, the Poet Boot feels buttery soft from the first wear. The counter has an integrated suede heel panel to provide comfort and protection for your heels. While these boots do not feature removable insoles, the footbed is engineered with 4mm of embedded memory foam padding, ensuring sustained comfort and support underfoot.

Outsole:
The Poet Boot is grounded by a durable rubber dress sole with a modest 24mm heel. This construction offers a full range of flex, providing a sturdy yet graceful foundation for all-day wandering.

I finally found my forever boot
I’ve never loved a pair of boots this much! They felt instantly right from the moment I put them on. No breaking-in period at all. They’re ridiculously comfortable and feel more like slippers than boots. The heel height is also perfect. Easy to wear all day while still feeling really stylish. And the leather… wow! It’s buttery soft with the most beautiful, subtle sheen. I’ve always loved loafers but never really wore them much in winter, so the fact that these give you that loafer look in a boot feels genius to me. Please, please make these in more colours. I’d love an oxblood or tan version - I’d buy them in a heartbeat!
