Vagabond Black Knee High Sock Boots - Vega 6251-102

Vagabond Black Knee High Sock Boots — Vega 6251-102

This is a knee-high leather and stretch-panel boot from Swedish brand Vagabond, built for everyday wear and the office. The Vega features a soft square toe, a stable 6cm block heel, and a fitted leg shaft designed to sit neatly against the calf — making it a reliable choice for the woman who wants a polished, pulled-together look from morning through evening. An inside zip makes the boot easy to put on and take off, while the combination of cow leather at the front and stretch panels at the shaft creates a comfortable, secure fit around the leg.

Key Features

• 6cm block heel provides height with stability — easy to walk in across a full working day.
• Cow leather upper sourced from Portugal gives structure and durability at the front of the boot; the leather will soften and mould with wear.
• Stretch shaft panels (65% polyurethane, 35% polyester) allow a fitted, sock-like fit to the leg and calf without restriction.
• Soft square toe gives a modern shape that works with both tailored trousers and midi skirts.
• Inside zip fastening runs the full length of the shaft for easy on and off.
• Tencel-blend lining (97% Tencel, 3% Spandex) and organic cotton vamp lining keep the foot comfortable throughout the day.
• Chrome-free tanned sheep leather insole and thermoplastic rubber outsole offer grip and durability underfoot.

This boot is not available in half sizes, so if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort.

Best For

• Everyday work and office wear where you want a boot that's both polished and practical
• Smart-casual dressing for lunch, shopping, and weekend plans that call for something a step above trainers
• College or university days when you want a put-together look without sacrificing comfort
• Autumn and winter city dressing paired with coats, knitwear, and midi skirts
• Transition dressing from the office into an evening out — the block heel carries you through both
• Women who want the look of a fitted knee-high without the struggle of a stiff leather shaft

Styling Guidance

The Vega in black is one of the most versatile boots you can add to a working wardrobe. Wear it with straight-leg or slim trousers tucked in for a streamlined look, or let a midi skirt graze just above the shaft for a proportionally balanced outfit. The soft square toe gives the boot a contemporary shape that pairs well with tailored pieces — a blazer and cigarette trousers, or a shirt dress belted at the waist. For a more relaxed look at the weekend, it works just as well with a chunky knit and jeans.

• Works well with: Straight-leg trousers, midi skirts, tailored shirt dresses, wide-leg trousers
• Colour palette: Black, camel, cream, burgundy, forest green, charcoal grey
