Loretta: One-of-a-kind short western booties made from natural cowhide
Snip toe design, easy side zipper, and bold Stiefeld aesthetic
The Loretta Cowhide Boots - Size 7.5 US
Meet Loretta: your new go-to ankle boot with authentic Western flair. Handcrafted in Mexico from premium hair-on-hide cowhide, these snip-toe booties feature a handy side zipper for effortless on-and-off wear. The shaft hits just above the ankle, offering a sleek silhouette that works with skirts, jeans, or cropped trousers. Built on a durable welt-constructed sole with a 5 cm stacked heel, Loretta delivers all-day comfort and lasting quality. Each natural hide pattern is one-of-a-kind—no two pairs are the same. Perfect for festival season or city streets, these hair-on-hide booties pair heritage craftsmanship with modern versatility.
These are my second pair of Stiefeld boots. I was just as happy with this pair as I was the first pair! They have never hurt my feet, are comfortable to wear for a whole day or even more than one day, and they are unique! I love my first two pairs so much that I bought a third pair, and I love them too. I had an issue with the insole on the third pair so I contacted customer service who promptly responded and worked with me in fixing the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Loretta Short Cowhide Booties run true to size?
Yes—Loretta booties are cut on a true-to-size last. If you have wider feet or prefer extra room (for thicker socks), we recommend sizing up half a size.
What is the shaft height of the Loretta booties?
Loretta’s shaft measures 19 cm (7.5 in), hitting just above the ankle for a sleek, versatile fit.
Are Loretta booties comfortable for all-day wear?
Absolutely—each pair features a cushioned leather insole and traditional welt construction that softens with time. The 5 cm stacked heel offers stability, while the side zipper ensures a snug, blister-free fit right out of the box.
