Why it's worth it
The heel height is the answer to every boot you've owned that was too flat or too much.
The Edit
A 16.7-inch shaft in matte genuine leather sits on a 2-inch tapered heel — narrow enough to read as kitten, tall enough to hold a line. The almond toe is neither squared-off nor pointy, landing in the precise middle territory that ages well. Seaming is minimal: one vertical run up the front panel, one horizontal break above the ankle — structure implied, never announced.
