The cords are not laces in the conventional sense; they are part of the architecture, thick and purposeful, ending in small gathered knots. An inner silver zip at the ankle closes the whole thing from beneath the fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTosone\u003c\/em\u003e, late 1980s to early 1990s. The Italian leather boot of this period operated in a particular grammar: serious construction, minimal decoration, every detail load-bearing. The folded tongue and knotted cord are not decoration added to a plain boot; they are the boot's entire identity, a structural move that happens also to be beautiful. \u003cem\u003eTosone\u003c\/em\u003e worked in exactly this register: shoes made to be worn seriously by people who paid attention. The leather is the kind that softens to the foot rather than resisting it. The red pebble rubber sole is the one note of colour, and it is correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boot that asks nothing of its wearer except to walk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44108990218374,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_2925copy.jpg?v=1782266911","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/the-fold-1980s-90s-black-leather-ankle-boots-tosone","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
