The Jose Lace-up Boots by Brando is handcrafted in Italy and constructed from high-quality full-grain calf leather, hand-dyed and hand-buffered. To create a distressed, urban look, this style also undergoes an exclusive antiquing process called stone washing, consisting in washing the shoe in open washing machines filled with water and pumice stones. The shades of uneven intensity are then emphasized through careful waxing and brushing. Featuring also a beautiful single-layer, hand-built buffalo leather outsole, cut from the double butt of the hide, and hand-milled for added character. The authenticity of the material is confirmed by the characteristic wrinkles and lines that are sometimes visible on the sole, that we have chosen to cover with a clear acrylic wear path for durable wear. - Handcrafted in Italy. - Rich Italian full-grain calf leather or distressed suede. - Superior Blake construction, for exceptional sole flexibility and comfort, and ease of re-soling for years of wear. - Special design single-layer buffalo outsoles, hand milled, with their natural lines and skin signs. - Height of heel: 1.8 cm; height of sole: 0.8 cm. - Lined with soft, high quality Italian calfskin. - Leather Tassels - Comes with branded high-quality cotton shoe bags for travel
