【Design】
The PL1 front zip boot is a hallmark of the GUIDI collection. It features a bold front zip running vertically through the center of the upper, creating an unparalleled presence. The toe is rounded and voluminous thanks to layered leather, with a distinctive upward curve at the tip that defines its unique shape. The zipper pull is engraved with the brand logo, reflecting the brand’s philosophy down to the finest detail. The sole uses a single-layer design while the heel is double-layered, striking a balanced construction.

【Silhouette & Fit】
The last used is characteristic of the PL series―slimmer than those in the 700 or 900 series. The shaft is also designed narrower to precisely hold the ankle, presenting a sharp, beautiful silhouette when worn. Constructed from a single piece of leather with no seams, GUIDI’s craftsmanship fully showcases the charm of its leather. A pull tab at the heel adds both practicality for easy wear and a design accent.

【Material Texture & Comfort】
The boots employ the sturdy Goodyear welt construction, which molds over time to the wearer’s foot shape. The material is rich full-grain horse leather with natural grain texture. Vegetable-tanned leather, tanned slowly with plant-based ingredients, develops deeper sheen and tone as it ages, allowing you to enjoy a unique patina that grows with each wearer.

■ Characteristics of Natural Leather & Product Dyeing
・Due to the nature of the materials, minor scratches, wrinkles, color unevenness, and scuffs may be visible.
・The brand’s exclusive object-dyeing method soaks dye deep into the leather core, making color transfer more likely.
・To preserve the leather’s original texture, aging characteristics, and distinctive “smooth feel,” no color-fixing treatment is applied.

■ Usage Precautions and Care
・Initial Use Caution
Refrain from pairing with white or light-colored clothing and socks for several months after purchase or use with caution.

・Preemptive Care
To reduce color transfer, apply a leather protector and water repellent spray over the entire boot before first use. The fluorine-based fine film repels external moisture and inhibits dye migration from inside, significantly lowering color transfer risk.

■ Brand Appeal
Enjoy the one-of-a-kind aging unique to artisan brands, where excess dye fades over time, deepening into the rich colors distinctive of vegetable-tanned leather.
