Francesco Russo turns the same silhouette to smooth nappa leather, softer to the touch than the suede versions and with a slight sheen. The 75mm heel, back zip and leather tab carry over unchanged, and the cap toe stays sharp against the black. It reads more polished than the suede pairs, suited to evening as much as day.

Francesco Russo works the bootie once more in unlined suede, its 75mm heel curved for balance rather than height alone. The back zip closes under a leather tab, and the toe is finished with a neat cap. A soft smoke grey keeps this pair quietly versatile.

Francesco Russo repeats the same close-fitting bootie in unlined suede, the 75mm heel giving it height without losing ease of wear. A leather tab sits at the back above the zip, and the cap toe keeps the silhouette clean. Here the suede is dyed a deep cacao, warm enough to carry through autumn.

Francesco Russo cuts a close-fitting ankle bootie in unlined suede, set on a slender 75mm heel with a subtle curve. A leather tab closes at the back above the zip, and a neat cap toe finishes the line. In a warm cest tone, it reads equally well with tailoring or denim.
