보테가 베네타/부츠/EU 38/가죽/화이트/러버 첼시 부츠

The white leather is so clean in person, and the elastic side panels make them easy to slip on even with socks. They’ve held up well despite the pre-owned wear, and the rubber sole gives a solid grip on wet pavement.

The rubber sole has just the right amount of grip for city streets, and despite being pre-owned the leather still holds its shape well. I was worried about scuffs on white boots, but these cleaned up nicely with a damp cloth.

The rubber sole has held up beautifully through muddy commutes and the white leather still cleans up like new, even in this pre-owned condition. The EU 38 fits my usual US 7 perfectly, and the worn-in feel means zero break-in blisters. Exactly what I was hunting for.
