Left: These custom-made chukka boots feature grain leather with a distinct texture that creates a powerful impression. The welt construction, where the upper leather covers the welt, is a construction method derived from military boots and prevents water and dust from entering.
Right: Side-gore boots made from the same grain leather as the left. These also utilize the Weltschoen construction method and feature an It's Shade military command sole. The voluminous shape is a perfect match for wide-legged trousers.
Enzo Bonafe
Left: A rare pair of jodhpur boots from Enzo Bonafe . They feature a sharp square toe, but are uniquely combined with a heavy double sole. Furthermore, the toe area is constructed using the Norwegian welt method, giving them an even more striking appearance.
Right: These plain-toe boots feature a square toe with minimal welt protrusion and an inner zipper for easy on and off. Their minimalist yet elegant appearance makes them suitable for dressier occasions, such as with suits or jacket-and-trouser combinations.
BUTTERO
Left: These heavy-duty mountain boots are topped with high-quality suede, creating a look that is both casual and sophisticated. The leather logo patch on the tongue adds a touch of luxury.
Right: These derby-style lace-up boots feature two zippers on the back for quick on and off. Despite their rugged appearance, they offer a comfortable fit. The extra-thick stitching around the welt adds a stylish accent.
Le Yucca's
Left: The upper is made of Chateaubriand leather, which has both luster and transparency. The combination of supple, high-quality material and avant-garde high heels is truly characteristic of Le Yucca's .
Right: Le Yucca's interpretation of the George boot, which has its roots in British military design. The slender, elongated toe shape is elegant. The upper is made of Carl Freudenberg box calf leather.
Stefano Bemer
These side-gore boots, crafted by a prestigious Florentine brand, possess a basic yet robust and powerful presence. The beautifully rounded, moderately shaped toe exudes a timeless appeal. The soles are made of rubber.
F.lli GIACOMETTI
These long boots feature a striking elephant nubuck upper and a long-haired lining. They are inspired by freezer boots originally designed for working in refrigerators. A belt across the calf adds a stylish accent.
*The texture of the leather will vary from pair to pair.
