Italian Leather Lace-Up Ankle Boot
A bold expression of contemporary Italian craftsmanship, Paestum combines refined leatherwork, architectural proportions and distinctive contrasts in a sophisticated ankle-boot silhouette.
The design pairs a warm cognac leather toe and tongue with richly textured black leather panels, creating a striking interplay of color, surface and depth. Glossy black leather accents frame the upper, while subtle red detailing introduces a distinctive signature without compromising the elegance of the design.
Metal lace hardware gives the boot a confident, contemporary character, while the side zip allows for ease of wear without interrupting the clean structure of the silhouette.
The design is completed by a high-quality leather sole, carefully treated and hand-colored by Italian artisans. Its deep, nuanced finish and traditional heel construction bring a more elevated character to the boot, creating a deliberate contrast with the contemporary upper.
Every pair is 100% handmade in Italy, individually assembled and finished with meticulous attention to proportion, stitching and detail. Produced in intentionally limited quantities, Paestum reflects the Francesco Sensini approach to footwear: authentic Italian craftsmanship expressed through distinctive, individual design.
The Inspiration — Paestum
Paestum takes its name from the ancient city of Magna Graecia in Southern Italy, renowned for its monumental Greek temples and enduring architectural beauty.
The name reflects the character of the design itself — strong, structured and timeless — while continuing Francesco Sensini’s connection to the landscapes, history and cultural heritage of Southern Italy.
Paestum is designed for the man who appreciates individuality and craftsmanship, offering a sophisticated alternative to both the traditional dress boot and the contemporary high-top.
