The Roxy is a soft suede ankle boot with a low block heel, rear-zip fastening and a cushioned insole — a smart-but-easy boot for everyday wear. It comes in four suede colourways plus a waxed leather finish, so the main decision is simply which shade suits your wardrobe.
About the Roxy Boots
Every Roxy shares the same build: a combination leather and rubber textured outer sole, a cushioned moulded insole, contrast stitching to the footbed, and an inside YKK metal zip with a leather pull tab for easy on-and-off. The suede colourways are Navy, Grey, Sand and Brown, with a nubuck Waxed Leather version also available. Most colourways are clearance stock with limited size runs, so availability varies — check the size guide on each product page before ordering.

Fit and Sizing
All Roxy boots fasten with an inside YKK metal zip and a rear pull tab, so they're quick to get on and off without wrestling with laces. We recommend going up a size from your other Bareback Footwear, as the suede and waxed leather uppers are quite fitted. If you're between sizes, size up rather than down.
Lining and Comfort
Every Roxy has a cushioned moulded insole and a breathable fabric lining, with contrast stitching to the footbed for a bit of detail underfoot. It's a comfortable everyday boot rather than a technical walking boot, so it's best suited to daily wear, dog walking on dry ground, and casual outings rather than long hikes.
Are the Roxy Boots Waterproof?
Honestly — no. The Roxy is built with suede or waxed leather uppers and a breathable fabric lining, with no waterproof membrane. Suede in particular will mark in wet weather, so we'd treat these as a dry-day boot rather than something to wear in the rain or mud. A suede protector spray applied before first wear will help guard against light showers and everyday splashes.
Suede vs Waxed Leather — Which to Choose?
The Navy, Grey, Sand and Brown colourways are all soft suede, giving a slightly matte, textured finish. The Waxed Leather option uses a nubuck waxed leather instead, which has a bit more sheen and is a touch more hard-wearing day to day, though it's still not waterproof. Both share the same sole, insole and zip fastening, so the choice really comes down to look and finish.
Stock, Clearance and Seconds
Most of the Roxy range is now clearance stock, and the Brown Suede and Waxed Leather colourways are seconds with only a couple of sizes left in each. If you find your size, we'd suggest ordering sooner rather than later as these won't be restocked once they sell out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Roxy boots waterproof?
No. The Roxy has suede or waxed leather uppers with a breathable fabric lining and no waterproof membrane, so we'd avoid heavy rain or wet, muddy ground.
Do Roxy boots run true to size?
We recommend going up a size from your other Bareback Footwear. The suede and waxed leather uppers are quite fitted, so sizing up gives a more comfortable fit.
What's the difference between the suede and waxed leather Roxy?
The construction is identical — same sole, insole, lining and zip. The difference is purely the upper material and finish: soft matte suede in Navy, Grey, Sand and Brown, versus a slightly glossier, more hard-wearing waxed leather in Brown.
Which Roxy colourway has the best size range?
Navy Suede currently has the widest range of sizes in stock. Brown Suede and the Waxed Leather boot are seconds with only a couple of sizes remaining, so check the size guide before ordering.
How do I look after suede boots?
Treat suede with a protector spray before first wear, brush off dry dirt with a suede brush once it's fully dry, and avoid wearing them in heavy rain or on very wet ground, since suede marks easily when it gets soaked.
Can I wear Roxy boots for everyday use?
Yes — they're designed as an easy, comfortable everyday ankle boot with a cushioned insole, suited to daily wear, dry-weather dog walks and casual outings rather than heavy-duty outdoor use.
