Target has the A New Day Allegra Dress Boots in black, size 12, for $27, down from the regular $45. That's about 40% off. Size 12 can be hard to find on sale, which is why this one is worth a look. The price and size information below covers black size 12 only. We can't say whether other sizes or colors are discounted.
Check the black size 12 boots at Target
Think of this as a low-risk workwear and fall-wardrobe pickup, not a forever boot. It's an affordable, dressy knee-high that's easy to wear with a few outfits. A few details need confirming on the live page first, and we flag them below.
The deal: $27 instead of $45 for black size 12
- Sale price: $27 at Target
- Regular price: $45
- Savings: about 40%
- Covered here: black, size 12
Sale prices and stock change quickly. Confirm the current price and availability on the Target listing before you plan around the discount.
What you get: zipper, memory foam insole, almond toe
The Allegra is a knee-high dress boot with a simple, polished look.
- Knee-high silhouette
- Zipper closure, which makes them easier to get on and off than a pull-on style
- Memory foam insole
- Closed almond toe
- Louis heel
- Black colorway
The memory foam insole is a nice touch at this price. We haven't worn-tested these, so we're not promising all-day comfort. We can only say the cushioning is there on paper.
Fit check: shaft height, calf circumference, and width
For a knee-high boot, fit usually comes down to your calf. The listing gives these measurements:
- Shaft height: about 15 inches
- Shaft circumference: about 17.5 inches
Measure your calf before ordering, at its widest point, and compare it with the 17.5-inch shaft circumference. Shaft height also matters, since 15 inches will hit differently depending on your leg length.
On width: the Allegra line includes wide-width listings, and some product information describes this boot as wide. We can't confirm that the black size 12 you'd actually receive is a wide width, so check the width designation on the live Target page before counting on extra room.
Heel height: what the listing says (and where it conflicts)
The heel is a modest Louis heel, but the sources don't agree on the height. The specifications say about 2.25 inches, while some product copy says 2.75 inches. Until it's confirmed on the live page, treat it as listed as roughly 2.25 to 2.75 inches.
Either way, it's a moderate heel, not a stiletto and not a flat. It's a practical height for skirts, dresses, and jeans, though a heel at the higher end of that range may feel different over a long day on your feet.
Materials: recycled polyester microfiber, not leather
Be upfront about this one: the upper is 100% recycled polyester microfiber. It is not leather. Don't expect leather's durability or the way it patinas with age.
- Upper: 100% recycled polyester microfiber
- Lining: textile
- Insole: foam
- Outsole: mixed TPR/polyester
That's consistent with the price. It's a value-minded boot, and that's how we'd frame it.
What the 4.7 stars from 13 reviews can and can't tell you
The Allegra has a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 13 reviews. That's a good sign, but a small sample. Thirteen reviews can't tell you much about how these hold up after a season or two of regular wear, and we haven't tested them ourselves.
We'd also be cautious about praise for other A New Day tall boots. It doesn't necessarily apply to the Allegra. Read the reviews on this specific listing, and look for comments about calf fit and sizing.
Who these boots suit, and who should skip them
A good fit if you:
- Want a dressy black boot for the office, city errands, or dressy-casual outfits
- Plan to wear them with skirts, dresses, or jeans
- Need a size 12 at a lower price and want to keep the risk low
- Like zipper entry and a covered, almond-shaped toe
Skip them if you:
- Want leather or a boot you expect to keep for many years
- Need something for rain, snow, or heavy outdoor use. Nothing in the listing suggests these are waterproof or built for that
- Have a calf measurement that's larger than the 17.5-inch shaft circumference
- Need a confirmed wide or wide-calf fit and can't verify it on the listing
Other A New Day and budget boot options to compare
If the Allegra's measurements or style aren't what you're after, these are other boots to browse. We're listing the specs only, and we haven't tested any of them.
- A New Day Bianca Tall Boots: pointed toe, about 15-inch shaft, 1.25-inch heel, medium width
- A New Day Payton and Tambra Tall Boots: other tall-boot styles from the same Target house brand
- A New Day Lenora Mid Calf Riding Boots: a shorter, mid-calf riding-boot style
- Allegra K or Blissful Step block-heel boots: faux suede, about 3.5-inch heel
Check each listing for current pricing, sizing, and width before deciding.
Bottom line: is $27 worth it?
For a dressy, knee-high black boot in a hard-to-find size 12, $27 is an easy price to take a chance on, as long as you're clear about what you're getting. It's a recycled polyester microfiber boot with a zipper, memory foam insole, and a modest heel, meant for everyday city, office, and dressy-casual wear. It's not leather, and it's not a rainy-day boot.
Before you buy, head to the Target listing and confirm three things: the black size 12 sale price and stock, the width designation, and the heel height. Then check your calf measurement against the 17.5-inch shaft circumference.
