Gucci horsebit ankle boots for the closet you brag about

Questions and answers

Is the Gucci Slim Horsebit Ankle Boot true to size?

It is listed in US sizing with a medium width. Gucci boots generally run close to standard European sizing, so most shoppers take their usual size; those between sizes or with wider feet often go up half a size.

How tall is the heel and platform?

The block heel is 1.5 inches and the platform is 1 inch, so the foot sits only about half an inch higher at the heel than at the toe. That makes it easier to walk in than a stiletto.

What is the shaft height and circumference?

The shaft is 7 inches tall with an 11-inch circumference, so it sits at the ankle. Measure your ankle before buying if you are near the top of that range.

What is the boot made of?

The upper is GG-embossed genuine leather with silver-tone horsebit hardware. The sole is smooth man-made material, not rubber.

Is $799 a good price for this boot?

Gucci ankle boots typically list well above $1,000 new, so $799 at Poshmark as of November 7, 2026 is below the usual retail level. Three stores list it new, so compare before buying.

How do I care for the GG leather?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth and keep the boots away from prolonged moisture. Store them with shoe trees to hold the ankle shape, and have the smooth sole roughened or resoled if it feels slippery.
