There are few materials used for smart boots and shoes that capture the essence of the fall season as well as brown suede. It’s an earthy and warm tone that is enhanced thanks to suede’s wonderfully tactile texture, and a welcome change from the more traditional smooth leather construction. The new release for the fall and winter seasons from Velasca sees them using high-quality greased suede leather on laced boots to stunning effect. Finished in a tobacco brown color and using a Blake construction, the Velasca Desàsi Laced Boots represent a truly stylish addition to anyone’s wardrobe as the cold weather comes in.
The brown calf leather exterior features exceptional stitching, with an additional superficial buffing to bring to life the suede’s velvety feel to the touch. The additional layer of grease softens the overall effect while highlighting the chiaroscuro aesthetic and bringing an extra dimension to the tones. Calf leather continues through to the boot’s lining, while the sole adds stability and durability thanks to the use of soft natural rubber.
Additional finishing touches include an attractive buckle rounded off with a decorative toe cap that takes its inspiration from classic biker shoes. This influence can also be seen in the waxed cotton laces, while the zigzag roguing adds a stunning frame around the galvanized brass buckle. Priced at $420, the Velasca Desàsi Laced Boots represent Italian shoemaking at its finest, manufactured in Montegranaro in the Marche region using the best-aged leathers and cut with a keen eye for precision.
