For decades Ralph Lauren has drawn inspiration from the romance of traditional equestrian gear and the Reese is a key example as it's evocative of a classic riding boot but reimagined with a 100 mm stacked heel and a menswear-inspired square toe. It's beautifully rendered from full-grain calfskin that's burnished to add a lustrous finish and richly dimensional hues. Crafted in Italy this pair is distinguished by an array of highly considered elements like an angled topline interior pull tabs a stirrup-shaped zipper pull tab and "RL" embroidery at the shaft.
