Italian luxury fashion brand Bottega Veneta has released the 'Stride,' a rubberized ankle boot that adheres to the same avant-garde design principles as the brand's widely popular 'Puddle' boot.
Slick and shiny, these rainboots are being offered in five unique colors: 'Sea Salt,' 'Travertine,' 'Bottle Green,' 'Blaster,' and 'Black.' In terms of design, the boots consist of extra-thick rubber outsoles, rubber bootstraps, and a lace-free rubber body. As a whole, they present a clunky silhouette similar to the 'Puddle' boot, but with a lower cut ankle and less rounded edges.
The boot's interior is comprised of soft leather insoles and a cotton inner lining -- the only two other materials to be used in the model aside from rubber. All five colors of the 'Stride' are now available for pre-order on Bottega Veneta's website.
