Crinkled-leather knee boots
BALMAIN
$2195.00
Product Insights & Style Tips
Seen on Balmain's Fall '26 runway, these knee boots fuse a timeless silhouette with a modern edge. Made from crinkled leather, they read as a glossy black with a tactile texture that catches the light as you move. A squared toe keeps the line sharp, while a sharply angled wedge heel adds height with confident poise.
For wear, the knee-high shaft lengthens the leg and a zipped side makes them easy to pull on without losing polish. The heel measures about 95 millimeters, a poised lift that still feels walkable. Inside, smooth leather lining and insole meet a leather outsole; made in Italy. They fit slightly small to size, so consider a half size up for best comfort.
Balmain continues to translate texture into luxury with the crinkled finish, offering a refined yet edgy option that pairs with tailoring, midi dresses, or cropped pants for city nights and beyond.
