The maker files the upper as 二层牛皮 — split-grain cowhide, the layer beneath the top grain — which is what a leather flat at this price is made of, and worth saying plainly rather than writing 真皮 and leaving it at that. The lining and the insole are both 猪皮, pigskin, which is the part that actually touches the foot; the sole is rubber, cemented to the upper. The toe is square. The maker files the head shape as 圆头, round, and its own photographs disagree with that field: the front edge runs flat across with softened corners on every frame, so the headline and the pictures are what we have followed. The same goes for the closure. The listing sells a 方扣, a square buckle, and there is no buckle anywhere in the frames it publishes — the instep is elastic, which is why the shoe goes on with no fastening and why the crossing sits slack when the shoe is empty. Sizes run 34 to 40 on the continental scale rather than the 35-to-40 run most flats here are sold in, so a 34 and a 40 are both genuinely available. Three colourways: black, wine red and olive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSplit grain, said out loud\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost leather flats in this market put 真皮 in the headline and leave the material field blank, because 真皮 covers split leather as well as the top layer. This one files 二层牛皮 — split-grain cowhide, the layer under the top grain — and files 猪皮 in the lining and the insole. So it is a real leather shoe, it is not a top-grain one, and the price is honest about which. Split grain is also the more forgiving of the two on a flat: it takes the crease across the vamp without cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo elastic bands, and no buckle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing sells a square buckle and files 搭扣, a buckle closure, in two more fields. There is no buckle in any of the photographs it publishes. What holds the shoe on is two flat elastic bands crossing in an X, anchored at the sides. In practice that means the shoe goes on without a fastening, the strap gives as the foot flexes instead of cutting across the instep, and there is nothing to come loose or to replace. It also means the crossing sits slack when the shoe is empty, which is exactly what you see in the frame shot on the bed — that is the elastic at rest, not a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA real 34 and a real 40\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maker files 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40 on the continental scale. Most flats on this platform run 35 to 40 with a line telling you to size up, which quietly drops the two ends of the size curve. Here both ends are listed, so a small-footed customer and a large-footed one are served by the same style — which for a shop buying ten units a style is the difference between stocking it and not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black · Wine red · Olive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e EU 34–40 — seven continental sizes, filed as 34,35,36,37,38,39,40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Split-grain cowhide upper (二层牛皮), pigskin lining and insole (猪皮), rubber outsole (橡胶)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber (橡胶) on a cemented construction (鞋底工艺 粘胶鞋)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low — the maker files 低跟[小于3cm(含)], under 3 cm including the heel, block heel (粗跟)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-cut (鞋帮高度 低帮), held on by elastic rather than a buckle, so the strap gives as the foot flexes.

The maker files the upper and the shaft both as 二层牛皮 — split-grain cowhide, the layer beneath the top grain — which is what a leather boot at this price is genuinely made of, and worth saying plainly rather than writing 真皮 and leaving it there. The insole is filed as 天然皮革, natural leather, which is the part the foot actually rests on. The shaft lining is filed separately and specifically as 超细纤维, microfibre, while the general 内里材质 field says only 皮质 — a word that is not a fibre and cannot be read as one, so the copy does not upgrade it. The outsole is rubber, on a lugged block heel. There is no zip, no lace and no elastic gusset: the boot goes on over the foot as a pull-on, which is why the shaft is cut loose enough to fold. Two heel heights are sold in every colour — a 5 cm and an 8 cm build — and the maker files only the lower one, 中跟（3-5CM）, in the attribute table while selling the taller one in the headline; both are real and both are offered. Three colourways: black, brown and a milky white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe strap at the top\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA belt strap buckled across the top of the shaft is the one detail that separates a riding boot from a plain knee-high, and it is doing real work here. On the frames where the boot is worn pulled up it sits at the very top of the shaft, just under the knee. On the frames where the boot is worn down — 07 and 08 — the same strap has travelled to the ankle, because the shaft has folded over it. That is the second way to wear it and the reason the strap is a belt rather than a fixed buckle: it is meant to be let out and taken in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo heel heights, both actually sold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headline says 粗跟8CM. The attribute table files 中跟（3-5CM）. Read only those two lines and the listing looks like it contradicts itself. The SKUs resolve it: the colours are filed as 黑色【8cm】, 棕色【8cm】, 白色【8cm】, 黑色【5cm】, 棕色【5cm】 and 白色【5cm】. There is a 5 cm build and an 8 cm build, in all three colours, and the attribute field simply describes the shorter one. That is worth more than it sounds — most listings on this platform publish a single heel figure and one photograph, and a stockist has to guess what a second size run would mean. Here the two heights are both real, both photographed on the same last, and both available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCut to fold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e穿着方式 is filed as 套筒\/套鞋 — pull-on, no zip, no lace, no elastic gusset. A knee-high boot with no fastening has to be wide enough at the top to pass the foot through, and a shaft that wide will not stand up on its own. So it folds. What looks like a slouch in the photographs is the consequence of how the boot is built rather than a styling trick, and it means the shaft will keep folding wherever it is stored rather than creasing in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black · Brown · Milky white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e EU 35–40 — six continental sizes, filed as 35,36,37,38,39,40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Split-grain cowhide upper and shaft (二层牛皮), natural-leather insole (天然皮革), microfibre shaft lining (超细纤维), rubber outsole (橡胶)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber (橡胶).

The maker files the upper, the shaft, the lining and the insole all as microfibre — 超纤 and 超细纤维 — so this is what it says it is: a well-cut synthetic boot, not a leather one. That is worth stating because at this quality the photographs read as leather at a glance, and a buyer ordering ten units deserves to know which of the two is arriving before the carton does. What the money buys instead is the shape. The toe is square with a flat front edge and softened corners; the heel is broad enough at the base to stand on through a working day and, because it rises off a platform, the angle under the ball of the foot is gentler than the number suggests. The shaft is cut low, so it sits under a trouser leg as easily as over one. Sizes run 34 to 41 on the continental scale, which is eight sizes — two more than most boots in this market are filed in. Black and brown, and each colour comes two ways: 单里, unlined, for the ordinary seasons, or 加绒, fleece-lined, for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot leather, said out loud\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA boot in this material is usually sold on how it looks rather than on what it is, and the two are genuinely close here — microfibre takes a grain and a shine that photograph well, and the frames this maker publishes would pass for leather at a glance. The reason to say so anyway is that the difference shows up in year two, not in week one. Microfibre does not develop a patina, it does not take a polish the way a hide does, and it will not crease into the vamp the way the split-grain flat on this shelf does. What it does do is hold its colour and shrug off a wet pavement better than an unsealed leather would. If you are buying for a customer who wants a leather boot, this is not that boot. If you are buying the shape, the shape is good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo linings under one colour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach colour is filed twice — 黑色单里 and 黑色加绒, 棕色单里 and 棕色加绒 — so the same boot is sold for a mild autumn and for a real winter, and the lining is the only thing that changes. 加绒 is a brushed fleece bonded to the inside of the shaft; it adds warmth without altering the outside of the boot, which matters when one style has to be photographed for a season that runs from September into February. Ordering both means a single silhouette covers the whole year instead of the shelf carrying a summer boot and a winter boot in the same shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA heel you can stand in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heel is filed 高跟, 6 to 8 cm, which reads tall until you see where it starts: it rises off a platform, so the foot is already lifted under the toe and the effective drop from heel to ball is nearer five. The base of the heel is wide — filed 粗跟, a block — and a wide block does not drop into a paving joint or turn under the ankle the way a narrow one does. On a boot that has to read with a skirt and a trouser both, and be worn standing, that is the more useful compromise than a taller, slimmer heel would have been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black · Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e EU 34–41 — eight continental sizes, filed as 34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Microfibre upper and shaft (超纤), microfibre lining (超细纤维), microfibre-leather insole (超纤皮) and a rubber outsole (橡胶大底).
