Boots
Boots were an important day wear style in the 1980s, and the designs favored simple cuts with a fairly straight leg and high, stacked heel, often making reference to cowboy or traditional riding boots. Brown was the preferred color, and the beauty of high-quality glossy leathers was accentuated by the relatively stark design. This pair features the elegant lines and refined details that one would expect from its prestigious maker.
