"GUCCI" 00’s equestrian harness long boots

Since its founding, GUCCI has sublimated elegance derived from horse gear into sophistication, updating the contours of luxury while wrapping itself in sensuality and strength for each era, and here we introduce an iconic masterpiece.

Made from rough-out leather with a beautiful unevenness and fuzziness that looks like it contains oil, the more you wear it, the deeper the shadows become, and the expression itself matures, making this a remarkable piece.

The eye-catching feature is the horsebit crossing the ankle, which maintains an iconic dignity, and the antique-style hardware lowers the center of gravity, giving a quiet power to the long silhouette. The ends of the bit are secured with leather belts and firmly fixed with rivets, making it both decorative and structurally sound, and the subtle gleam of metal during walking creates a very beautiful balance.

The shaft features a straight line that rises smoothly, and because of its minimal design with no unnecessary switches, the roughness of the material and the neatness of the form stand out in contrast, simultaneously establishing elegance and wildness. The opening is finished with a hand-stitched look using thick thread, ensuring ease of wear while adding a touch of craft warmth as a final touch.

While the sole is based on leather, with the front and back switching to rubber lug soles, it provides a secure grip during actual walking despite its heavy appearance, offering peace of mind for tough wear. The dense, high-hardness rubber texture takes a different approach from recent lightweight soles, giving it an industrial impact characteristic of its time.

Regarding the age, the presence of a seven-digit management number embossed on the inside, which differs from the current long-digit format, and the design of fixing the horsebit with a studded belt, which has high affinity with reinterpretations of Écrinblier seen in the mid-2000s, support the idea that it is from the range around 2003 to 2008. Furthermore, the material is rough-out with a practical weight combined with a lug sole, naturally aligning with the autumn/winter atmosphere.

Especially recommended for those seeking a ruggedness within luxury that cannot be achieved with dressier boots, or for those who want to add a slight roughness after dressing up, this piece tightens your everyday coat style while leaving a strength at your feet that does not overly assert itself.

Styling-wise, pairing a neat coat with simple pants and quietly harmonizing with the beauty of the material naturally highlights the dignity of the horsebit, allowing you to walk beautifully between elegance and mode. As another idea, layering a minimal dress or a long top with an outerwear creates a signature derived from horseback riding that adds just the right tension, resulting in a poised presence.

Take this opportunity without fail.
