Transcending seasons and trends; today the label serves as a symbol of SoCal beach culture with its enduring designs that feel like a lasting hug.A mini version of the 'Classic' boots; this ankle-length pair has a shorter shaft for easy on-off versatility. It's made from plush shearling that's been pre-treated to keep it looking better for longer and a durable; yet lightweight platform sole.
