Description
The Melissa Riding Boot is a masterclass in minimalist design, emphasizing the quality of the leather over flashy hardware. These are the classic pull-on version, offering a streamlined look that is as functional as it is fashionable.
Premium Materials: Constructed from heavyweight, full-grain leather with a slight pull-up and a natural waxy finish.
Design: Equestrian-inspired tall shaft with an asymmetric topline for a flattering leg profile.
Comfort: Features a smooth leather lining and a cushioned leather insole that molds to your foot with wear.
Outsole: Durable leather outsole with a rubber heel insert for added traction and a stacked leather heel.
Craftsmanship: Expertly Handcrafted in Spain using artisanal bench-crafting techniques.
Condition: New Without Box (NWOB) – Warehouse Sample
These boots are in excellent, unworn condition, sourced directly from warehouse storage.
Uppers: The full-grain leather is pristine, supple, and free of any scuffs or scratches.
Outsoles: The soles show light scuffing consistent with being handled in a warehouse environment or being tried on a hard floor. This is purely cosmetic and actually saves you the step of "breaking in" the slick factory soles for better grip.
Note: No original box is included.
