Gray

There is a reason this color is called black! It is quite deceiving, and you will be asking yourself, “How did they do that?” Soon you will be looking at your feet and saying, “I have never seen something like that before!”

Gray boots are hard to fob off. They look so smooth and sleek on the foot, making them harder to hide. They are also more understated when it comes to fashion trends, like with leatherware or digital shoes.

These shoes are perfect for those who want a soft, gray look but do not want a very dark boot. The Okena is such a nice looking boot that does not require much else!

This colorway of the Okena is also popularly used in soft-spoken office jobs or quick social events.

Round toe

This style is all about round toelined shoes. You can go with a smooth or faux fur lined version, and have a great looking shoe. The faux fur lined ones are pretty expensive, so keep that in mind if you want one.

These shoes are all about the texture. They are usually made of leather or vinyl, and they look and feel nice. Both materials give you some shape to your feet, and they are very durable.

If you like soft, plush shoes that don’t require breaking in, this is the style for you. They will not be fashion forward until you break them in, but who cares? You got your money and time spent looking nice!

These shoes are beautiful on their own, but also good as a first shoe to break into the booty style world.

Side zip

A new feature added to tall boots is the addition of a side zip. This feature allows you to easily and quickly put your foot in the boot without removing it.

Once zipped in, you can stand or sit with the boot as if it were a normal shoe. This is very helpful when climbing or hiking as you can easily put your foot inside and relax.

Since this feature is so easy to use, many people opt to not use a kickstand stabilizer like they do with the standard tall boot. This is helpful as you will not have to waste time locking and unlocking the side zip every time you want to change shoes.

Another thing that makes this taller version of a regular shoe more unique is the height of the lift. With this model, there is more of a drop at the bottom of the feet for support.

Pull on

Most Okena Tall Boot models are pull on. This means that you will need to pick one of the models with an attached boot sole. This is the only model with this feature!

Otherwise, all of the Okena Tall Boot models have an easy-to-use lacing system. You will just simply pull up on the laces and enjoy your tall boot!

The one caveat to having the pull on design is that you cannot add extra inches to the foot via some sort of add-on boot sole. You can only increase the height of your foot!

This is not a problem for some people, however. Many people find that having a little more room in their tall boots helps prevent cold feet syndrome.

Soft leather

Okena is a soft leather that is characterized by its supple texture. This leather is also known as tahki or butter. It can be used in fashion and everyday wear. Okena is typically used in more formal situations, but not impossible!

Because Okena can be used in so many ways, it is very expensive. You do not have to buy the most expensive Okena that is Suede, Moss, or Satin. You can find them in gray and brown as well!

These shoes are beautiful on their own, but even more impressive are those who wear them with beautiful dresses.

Casual boot

Okena is a casual boot style. They are tall and shapely, soft and cushiony, thin or thick soles, and they are sometimes lined. The tall shape of these boots makes them look higher than they are.

This style does not require any formal wear, as it is more for everyday wear. This style does not dress up either, as it is for wearing around the house or working.

These boots are very popular due to how easy they are to just get used to on. The height of the boots makes it hard to start looking at them right away, but once you do you will be happy with your purchase!

There are many ways to wear these shoes: work-ready, casual day-dreaming or relaxing shoes.

Winter ready

If you are going to the winter season immediately, this is the brand to look into. These boots are winter ready with a tall, solid footed boot. They have thermal lambs fur on the inside for added warmth, and two-year-old canvas leather for maximum durability.

These boots are easy to tell if they need repairing. The leather on the inside of the boot will be peeling away and dried pieces of leather will stick around. This is how they know if they need new soles or a new top layer.

The ones with no signs of wear are those that have been protected from water damage or been worn regularly by one person. These would be the ones that have not been treated with anything heavy enough to stay strong.

As these do cost more, there is another option: get them checked out by a professional! This can help save you from trying to fix them yourself.

Great price

At only $129, the Okena Tall Boot is a very affordable leather boot. Compared to more expensive boots, this one costs less than some pairs of shoes!

This is a great budget boot. It holds its shape well, is comfortable, and has great padding. It also looks nice on many body types.

It is not the tallest boot we have seen, but it is comfortable enough to wear all day. The height makes it better for working or standing all day, so if you were looking for a seated or lying down boot this is the one for you.

One area that may need some minor repair are the lining areas around the top and bottom of the foot. These areas are not very thick or sturdy, which may cause them to break down over time.
