- How does the Eliot platform boot fit?
- The listed shoe width is 9.2 cm and the ankle circumference is 32.5 cm, which points to a standard-to-narrow fit. The lace-up front lets you loosen the shaft, but shoppers with wide feet should size up or try before buying.
- Is it a real leather boot?
- No. The upper is natural PU with a fabric and PU lining, so it is a synthetic fashion boot. Expect easy cleaning but less durability and breathability than leather.
- Is it good for rain or winter?
- Not really. The PU and fabric construction is not described as waterproof, and the platform sole gives some lift from wet ground but no weather protection. It suits dry city wear.
- How heavy is the Eliot boot?
- About 840 g for the pair, which is light for a platform combat boot. That makes it easier to walk in than heavier leather styles.
- How tall is the boot?
- The shaft is 12.5 cm high with a 5.5 cm heel, so it sits at the ankle. The platform adds height under the forefoot as well as the heel.
- What should I check before buying a used pair?
- Check the PU upper for cracks or peeling, especially at the flex point over the toes, and look at the sole tread and laces. Ask whether the boots have been worn outdoors.
