I saw a photo of Kate Bush in a pair of thigh highs and I just wanted to climb into them myself... Luckily, as a shoe designer, this was almost possible! I made them on a lower heel, added a removable strap, etc,. But what was important to keep was that throw-on feel. These boots are special because of so many things and should be worn as a staple (in cold weather countries only...!).
Heavy grained, naturally tanned veg calfskin from northern Italy with an off-white lamb shearling-lined cuff/facing. This is a mid thigh pull on boot. The cuff can be worn down to become an over the knee boot. There is an adjustable thick strap that comes off entirely. The toe shape on this style is giving in the width and comes to a short point. Natural coloured welt.
The fit is pretty exact (generous on the width) and the heel height is approx 35mm on a hand-turned, hand-built, hand-nailed sole.
This is a boot for life........
