This is the model that got me looking at Vepose in the first place: the 912+912W Chunky Cutout Booties, listed at $89.99 on the brand’s own site (price can shift slightly by color and retailer, including on Amazon). I read through the product listing and a batch of buyer feedback on this style and similar Vepose cutout boots to see if it earns a spot in a fall boot rotation.
What it’s made of
The upper is soft synthetic leather, not genuine leather. It’s shaped into a round toe with a perforated, cut-out western pattern that’s the whole visual point of this style.
The heel is a chunky, low block heel rather than anything tall or narrow, which keeps the boot walkable for daily wear. The brand markets it for fall and early winter, which tracks with the ankle height and lack of any weatherproofing claims.
What buyers are actually saying
The most repeated comment across this style and Vepose’s other cutout booties is that they run true to size and don’t need any real break-in period. Several buyers specifically called out the insole as comfortable enough to wear all day without foot fatigue.
The pushback is almost entirely about material feel. A handful of reviewers said the synthetic upper reads as plastic-like up close rather than premium, given the price sits close to $90. If that matters more to you than the price, the brand’s “L” leather line (like the 911L) is the closer match.
Colors and sizing
This style comes in six colors: black, black nubuck, grey, red brown, tan, and tan nubuck. Sizing runs from 6 to 12, and every size is also offered in a wide-width version, which is worth checking since the cutout paneling gives a little less stretch than a plain upper.
Follow the standard size chart on the listing rather than sizing up preemptively. Most buyer feedback says true-to-size is the right call for this particular model.
How it compares
Inside Vepose’s own catalog, this sits mid-pack on price against similar chunky western styles like the 911. Against a brand like Journee Collection, you’re getting a comparable silhouette for a similar price, with the real difference coming down to where you’d rather shop and which brand’s exact fit works for your foot.
Should you buy it
If you want a western-inspired cutout bootie that’s comfortable out of the box and don’t need genuine leather to feel satisfied, this is a reasonable pick under $90. Order true to size, and check the wide-width option if your regular boots ever feel tight across the widest part of your foot.
