the croc-embossed knee-high boot
Paris Texas makes the sleek Italian boot with a Western streak, sharp enough for evening and comfortable enough to wear with jeans all day.
Every pair is made in Italy, mostly in calf leather and suede and often in croc or python prints. The house look pairs a sculpted high heel with a rose-tinted leather sole, across over-the-knee stilettos, chunky-heeled ankle boots and western boots with metal toe caps. The founder has each style tried on many women before it goes out, which is why such glamorous boots wear so easily.
Nothing from Paris Texas is on the site at the moment. We watch their sales — when one lands it shows up in Drops.
Annamaria Brivio founded Paris Texas in Milan in 2015, after years as a buyer for multi-brand stores. A few pairs of mules she stocked in her own boutique sold out at once, and the label grew from there, built first on boots.
The name sets two moods against each other, Parisian polish and Texan nerve, and that contrast became the house style: bold color and statement prints on comfortable, classic shapes, worn from day into night.
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
Product pages mark styles true to size in European sizing, with half sizes. Boot pages list shaft height and circumference, so measure your calf first; a few buyers say a pair didn't fit as expected.
Comfort is part of the brief: the founder has every style tried on several women before release, and points to the slouchy boots as the easiest pair for daytime.
Shipping to the US is free, US prices include duties, and returns are free within 14 days.
Try boots on carpet or a rug: pairs sent back with scuffed or marked soles may only be refunded in part.
