Over the knee boots rise above the knee, covering the leg past the calf so the shaft sits higher than an ankle or calf boot. That extra height is what defines the style, and it works with a midi skirt, a knit dress or opaque tights when the temperature drops.

The range runs from flat everyday pairs to block and stiletto heel boots, in leather and suede. Black leads, with tan, brown and grey close behind, and the odd bold colour for anyone who wants the boots to lead the outfit.

For even more coverage, compare them with thigh high boots, which reach further up the thigh. Styling stays simple: skinny denim tucked in, a midi skimming the top line, or a jumper dress for winter. Browse the full women's boots range to see the over the knee boot alongside the season's other shapes.
