[Bottega Veneta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-orbit) introduces a new set of iterations of the Lean Boot for the Fall/Winter 2020 season. The Italian fashion house takes the iconic [Chelsea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jb-ander) boot silhouette and gives it a [Western design aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melissa-x-maldito). 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.
