Bottega Veneta introduces a new set of iterations of the Lean Boot for the Fall/Winter 2020 season. The Italian fashion house takes the iconic Chelsea boot silhouette and gives it a Western design aesthetic. The classic ankle boots are updated with a long square toe and offers adjustable capabilities at the back informed by the pull-tab back loop.
The sides boasts elasticated paneling for comfort. There are two colorway options of the boots of either black of a 'Fondant' brown. The upper is made from premium calf leather for soft textures and it sits on top of a layered outsole foundation accompanied by a dramatic welt. There is a taller iteration that rests higher on the leg, optioned only in black.
