Guidi ‘796Z’ Full Grain Horse Leather Blood Red Back-zip Boots

Guidi has been tanning leather since the 19th century. Specializing in artisanal footwear, today Ruggero Guidi sits at the helm of his eponymous label, recreating hand selected silhouettes with intense manufacturing practices. Just a year before establishment in 2004, Guidi showcased his creations to Alessia Righi Amante of Carpe Diem, who suggested he experiment with “object dying”. The process, pioneered by Carol Christian Poell, engulfs a final product in pigment to achieve a distinct and rather unique patterning among the sole and upper as a whole. Since, Guidi has universally employed the technique and is now recognizable for their uniform palette and rigorous production method.

 

Known as the ‘796Z’ model, these boots are comprised of a full grain horse leather and wooden sole. Towards the rear, a back-zip closure is found, accenting the blood red exterior with polished metallic hardware. Finalized with a stacked heel and rubber Vibram outsole, these boots will retain life for years to come, aging effortlessly with each step. In pristine condition throughout, tagged as a size 46 or US 13.
