The elegant Firenze riding boot is made of supple, smooth waterproof cowhide 1.6 to 1.8 mm thick and is lined on the inside with non-slip leather. The boot is easy to put on and take off, thanks to the robust Optilon® rear zipper running the full height of the shaft. A leather flap, secured by snap fastener on the outside of the boot, protects the top and bottom of the zipper. The leather flap on the inside of the boot protects the zipper as well as the leg (caution: do not pull this flap). The narrow, Italian-quality elastic insert provides perfect support for the foot. The 7 cm-high upper on the outside of the knee is decorated with shiny material for a glamorous effect. The boot also features elastic laces. The innovative injected rubber outsole combined with leather is a particular feature of this remarkable boot. The sole is not only softer, lighter and sturdier, but also considerably more elegant. What's more, the sole is highly slip-resistant and its impact surface offers excellent shock-absorbing properties. The Texon midsole incorporates a metal camber for stability and even pressure distribution. The microfiber top layer on 4 mm thick foam further enhances boot comfort.
