Ankle boots in deep-dyed taupe leather - the color is applied after the shoe is fully assembled, so the dye penetrates seams and sole edges simultaneously, producing a surface that reads as weathered from the first wear. This is Officine Creative's Piece Dyed process: post-construction immersion dyeing out of their Montegranaro workshop, where the assembled shoe enters the dye bath whole. The result is tonal variation that is structurally impossible to reproduce on pre-dyed components - each pair carries a slightly different depth of taupe, heavier at the seams and sole edge. Details Upper: High-quality deep-dyed leather; patina unique to each pair Sole: Leather with rubber injection for stability, 40mm tapered heel Closure: Side zipper Silhouette: Sleek ankle boot Fit: Runs slightly large; recommended to choose one size down Origin: Made in Italy Care: Standard leather care. The deep-dyed finish continues to develop with wear - darkening at contact points is intentional
