Vegan boots for women, handmade in Poland
BOHEMA women's vegan boots are made in Poland by skilled craft workshops from plant-based leather: Desserto cactus leather from Mexico and Vegea grape leather from Italy, not synthetic PU or PVC. Ankle boots, Chelsea, combat, cowboy, workers and high boots, sizes 36 to 42, from EUR 189 to EUR 269. Duties and taxes are included for every country we ship to.
BOHEMA grew from the craft of Sebastian's parents: Edward, a master shoemaker with 30 years of experience, and Halina, a seamstress. A Polish family brand with roots in Kolbuszowa and headquarters in Warsaw.
Vegan ankle boots and booties
Our best-selling ankle boots are the Workers No. 2 and Workers No. 3 (lace-up, lug sole, cactus or grape leather, 8 colours) and the Swan No. 1 (clean minimal boot in black or white cactus leather). All three sit at the ankle, take a thick sock in winter and pair with jeans, dresses and wide trousers. For a detailed comparison of our hero boot styles with Dr. Martens Vegan, V.GAN, AVIKA and Will's, read our Best Vegan Boots 2026 guide.
Vegan Chelsea, combat and cowboy boots
Chelsea boots (Squared Chelsea, Tiger Chelsea, Chelsea Riot) come with an elastic side panel and a square or rounded toe. Combat boots have a lace-up shaft and a lug sole for wet pavements. Cowboy boots (Metallic Stitchy) are our most photographed style, with a Cuban heel and western stitching in plant-based leather. Styling ideas: how to wear combat boots and how to style cowboy boots.
Are vegan boots warm enough for winter?
Cactus and grape leather block wind and light rain like animal leather does. The lining is breathable textile and the sole is rubber, so BOHEMA boots are made for autumn and mild winter in cities, not for snow trekking. For frost, choose a higher shaft (High Boots, Workers No. 3) and a wool sock. More in our vegan boots for winter guide.
High boots and wide calves
High Boots (black or white cactus leather) have a shaft that fits most calves without a zip fight. If you have wide calves or a high instep, read our wide calf vegan boots guide before ordering. Every pair has 14-day returns if the fit is wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are BOHEMA vegan boots made of?
Plant-based leather, not synthetic PU or PVC. Two materials in the boots collection: Desserto cactus leather from Mexico (up to 74% biobased) and Vegea grape leather from Italy (made from wine industry by-products). The lining is breathable textile and the soles are rubber. Made in Poland by skilled craft workshops.
Are BOHEMA vegan boots durable?
Yes. Desserto and Vegea both pass the European furniture-leather durability standard (over 50,000 rub cycles in the Martindale test). With basic care a BOHEMA boot lasts several seasons of regular wear. Plant-based leather softens with wear but does not stretch out of shape the way animal leather can.
Are vegan boots waterproof?
Water-resistant, not fully waterproof. Cactus and grape leather shed light rain and slush. In heavy rain, treat them like animal leather: dry away from heat and apply a plant-based protector. The rubber sole keeps feet dry from below.
How do I care for plant-based leather boots?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap when dirty. Apply a plant-based leather cream every 2 to 3 months. Air-dry away from direct heat or sun. Store with boot shapers or rolled-up paper inside the shaft to keep the form.
What sizes are available and do they run true?
European sizing 36 to 42. True to size for most feet. If you are between sizes, size up: plant-based leather softens but does not stretch much. Returns are accepted within 14 days if the fit is wrong.
What styles of vegan boots does BOHEMA make?
Ankle boots (Workers No. 2, Workers No. 3, Swan No. 1, Ritual, Tiger), Chelsea (Squared Chelsea, Tiger Chelsea, Chelsea Riot), combat (Combat Black), cowboy (Metallic Stitchy), high boots (black and white) and platform boots (Cyber Boots). Around 28 styles and colours in stock at any time.
How do BOHEMA boots compare to Dr. Martens Vegan?
Dr. Martens Vegan uses a synthetic microfibre: animal-free but petroleum-derived. BOHEMA uses plant-based leather (Desserto, Vegea) with 50 to 74% biobased content, made in Poland by craft workshops. BOHEMA boots cost EUR 189 to 269; the Dr. Martens Vegan range is priced around EUR 170 to 220.
