Description

Inspired by our Meriem loafer, the Cocoon Boot utilises the same low-profile last and flexible outsole to offer a familiar, grounded feel. Created to help you feel close and warm in winter, it features a functional back zip and a sleek, architectural edge. Crafted from black pony hair with an intentionally rounded toe box and a raised apron seam, these are designed to support your daily creative flow. It’s the quiet anchor for a wardrobe of fine pleats and soft, monochromatic textures, a shoe that doesn't need to shout to be noticed.

Limited Edition! Only 60 pairs made
Cushioned 5mm memory foam throughout the footbed
Lightweight and flexible
True to size and suitable for wide feet
Made responsibly in small, intentional quantities

Details & Construction

The Cocoon Boot is a sophisticated solution for cool-weather dressing, leaning into a "less is more" philosophy. Built on our signature low-profile outsole, the same one our community loves on the Meriem loafer, this boot offers a flexible, lightweight experience that feels like a second skin rather than a heavy winter shoe. The premium black pony hair upper features a subtle apron-stitch detail, paying homage to its loafer origins while maintaining a modern, streamlined look. While the profile remains low and the mood remains "quietly confident," the subtle sheen and natural texture of the pony hair elevate this style into something tactile and rich.

Inside, the boot is lined in a luxurious Ballet Pink suede for a layer of warmth and comfort that allows the foot to breathe. A discreet silver zip at the heel ensures the sleek profile remains uninterrupted from the front while allowing for easy on-and-off wear. We envision these styled with longline knits, voluminous pleats, and soft monochromatic layers to play with proportions. It is a versatile, textured staple for those who find confidence in a grounded palette and shoes made for thinking, walking, and creating.

Care Instructions

Ponyhair is a delicate, natural material prized for its unique texture and sheen. Because it’s a "hair-on" hide, it requires a gentle touch to keep it looking lush.

Go with the grain: To remove light dust or dirt, use a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Always wipe or brush in the direction of the hair growth (never rub back and forth!) to maintain its smooth, silky finish.
Spot cleaning: For slightly more stubborn spots, use a damp (not soaking) cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap. Gently dapple the area in the direction of the hair and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Skip the polish: Unlike smooth leather, ponyhair should never be treated with traditional shoe polish, waxes, or creams, as these will clog the hair and ruin the texture.
Weather protection: Prevention is your best friend. Protect your shoes from the elements with a high-quality protector like Waproo Platinum Eco Stain & Water Repellent. Just like your leather pairs, we recommend a fresh spray once a month on the Full Moon.
Handle with care: Natural friction can cause "balding" over time. To keep them pristine, try to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or across particularly abrasive surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the Cocoon Boots fit?

The Cocoon Boot runs true to size and features a low-profile last that mimics the grounded feel of our Meriem loafer. Designed with an intentionally rounded toe box and a highly flexible, lightweight construction, this style is perfectly suitable for wide feet.

Are the Cocoon Boots orthotic-friendly?

No, this specific style does not feature removable insoles. However, the footbed is engineered with 5mm of embedded memory foam cushioning throughout the entire footbed, and it is beautifully lined in a luxurious Ballet Pink suede for a layer of warmth and breathable comfort.

What materials are the Cocoon Boots made from?

The upper is crafted from premium black pony hair (a natural, delicate "hair-on" leather hide) with a subtle apron-stitch detail. Inside, the boot is completely leather-lined in luxurious Ballet Pink suede, all grounded on our signature low-profile rubber outsole.

How do I put these ankle boots on?

The Cocoon Boot is designed for easy on-and-off wear. It features a discreet silver zip at the heel, which ensures that the sleek, modern profile of the boot remains completely clean and uninterrupted from the front.

How do I clean and care for the black pony hair material?

To remove light dust or dirt, always wipe or brush a soft cloth in the direction of the hair growth - never rub back and forth! For spots, use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap. Always skip traditional shoe polishes, waxes, or creams, as these will clog the hair and ruin its natural texture.

Can I wear these pony hair boots in heavy rain?

We recommend avoiding heavy rain or particularly abrasive surfaces, as natural friction can cause "balding" of the hair over time. To protect them from the elements, spray them once a month with a high-quality waterproofer.

What is your return policy if the shoes don't fit?

You can return any full-priced order for an exchange, credit note, or refund within 30 days of receiving it through our Returns Portal. We cover the cost of the shipping label when Checkout+ is selected during checkout.
