Why it's worth it
The pointed toe and block heel in plain black leather — the boot other boots are measured against.
The Edit
A tall riding boot in smooth black leather, the pointed toe and 40mm block heel landing in exactly the right ratio — enough heel to lengthen, low enough to walk all day. The shaft runs clean to the knee with no buckles, no zips visible from outside, no hardware interrupting the line. Western in reference, strictly urban in finish.
