Label Text:Riding boots are characterized by simplicity and elegance. Many fashion designers have been inspired by the basic design of riding boots, but their new versions can be far from traditional. Versace replaced the typical leather shaft with plush fur, while the rugged sole and heavy hardware add an edgy, motorcycle-inspired flair.
