The 1460 Bex model shown here is crafted from smooth black leather. It sits on a classic sole, and the monochromatic feel of this edition is broken up by the yellow color, which can be seen on the thread connecting the upper to the sole and on the label on the back of the shoe.

Classic yellow stitching around the sole and the signature AirWair sole with air cushioning ensure comfort and durability. A yellow heel pull tab makes them easy to put on. These boots are perfect for those who appreciate classic style with a rocker twist.
