Hermès Damenstiefel

Hermès' boots draw their DNA from horsemanship: Thierry Hermès founded the house in 1837 as a saddler, and the Jumping riding boot remains the signature of the line, available in glazed calf, oiled calf or Box. JoliCloset lists 69 authenticated pre-owned Hermès women's boots, knee-high or thigh-high depending on the model.

Models and fit

The Jumping is the riding boot par excellence: hand-sewn leather sole, sharp arch. The Volver is a more urban, pointed-toe boot. Heights: mid-calf, knee and over-the-knee on selected collections. French sizing 35 to 42, generally true to size — pay close attention to the calf circumference, the critical fit point on Jumping boots.

Leathers and finishes

Glazed calf is the Jumping classic, followed by oiled calf (matte, softer) and Box. Suede handles the more contemporary urban versions. On the secondary market, check the leather at the ankle bend and counter, and the sole's wear (resoling is possible but costly).

Pre-owned price and value

New Jumping boots clear $2,800 at retail. On JoliCloset, pre-owned Hermès women's boots in good condition start around $530 and reach $2,200 for lightly-worn recent Jumpings. To sell yours, list them on JoliCloset — our experts authenticate every pair before publication.
