About Lace Boots
I’ve always wanted to create lace boots for our Smart Doll girls. We’ve been prototyping them for years, but early versions kept looking like toy shoes. In 2019, we finally landed on a design that not only looks like miniature human footwear but also pairs beautifully with our weathered apparel. The leather will continue to age with use, giving each pair its own unique character.
A few things to keep in mind before purchasing:
• While the boots are lined to help reduce staining, please be mindful when posing your Smart Doll. If parts of the body—such as the shins—come into direct contact with the leather, staining may occur and may not be removable.
• The top of the tongue is exposed leather and may leave marks on the lining behind the eyelets.
• The inner eyelets may appear slightly green or dark due to oxidation.
• We’ve left the laces untied so you can lace them your way. Just remember to pull the laces snugly from the bottom up—otherwise you may not have enough length to tie a bow.
• The lace tips are a tight fit through the small eyelets, which were designed to preserve the correct sense of scale.
• The laces are fairly rigid, so a super-tight bow might be tricky. Personally, I prefer tucking the lace ends into a nook instead.
• These boots also fit Smart Doll guys—at least the ones with smaller… feet. High Heel Feet are compatible too, but not required.
• Please don’t pull the lace flaps outward, or you risk undoing some of the stitching.
• As with all of our weathered apparel, no two pairs are identical—not even left and right. Expect scratches, stretch marks, non-uniform color, and other natural imperfections that give the boots a worn, lived-in feel.
The leather will continue to develop a patina over time as it absorbs body oils, collects minor scratches, and reacts to the environment. Some boots may arrive looking newer than others—if you want to accelerate the weathered look, just take your girls out more often.
Please note that boot cuffs, socks, and any background scenery in the product photos are not included.
