F.LLI Giacometti

Carrying on a shoemaking tradition passed down from their grandfather in the 1890s, F.LLI Giacometti stands as the sole artisan manufacturer remaining in Italy's Veneto region. These short boots, crafted from the finest calfskin, boast a sleek and refined silhouette made possible by their side zips. The unadorned simplicity, underpinned by exceptional quality, speaks volumes of the maker's confidence.
