Dress Boots Size:UK 9.5 | EU 44 so the black stays softOur notes A lace up dress boot in black a boot cut with the manners of a shoe. The toe is clean and gently almond, the vamp seamless, and the shaft rises just above the ankle so it sits under a trouser hem without bulk.

That's a play on texture as much as anything matte ribbing
