This leather boot, whose shaft is higher than many comparable shoes, is made of soft calf leather on the outside and inside. Rubber inserts on the sides make it easy to put on and take off. The strong yet soft natural rubber crepe sole provides good underfoot cushioning and keeps the ground cold. The distinctive look defined by the cloudy leather upper is complemented by a wraparound leather welt that runs across the crepe sole.

Montegranaro in the Marche region, an important location for Italian shoe manufacturing, is home to the relatively young Punto Pigro label. Founded in 2000, it took the traditional footwear craft of the Secchiaris (their family had been active in the industry since 1975) and added new ideas and influences. For example, part of Punto Pigro’s collection features a special seam that goes back to the moccasins of the native inhabitants of North America. What’s more, the brand focuses on high-quality leathers, traditional handicrafts and a casual style in the design of its models.
