Platform Ankle Boot Appraisal

Black Leather Harness Ankle Boot

This is a single black leather ankle-height boot featuring a distinctive harness strap design. The boot is constructed from a textured, pebble-grain leather in a deep black finish. Its silhouette is an almond-toe profile with a relatively flat sole and a modest heel. The most prominent feature is the triple-strap harness system secured with large, polished silver-tone metal buckles and hardware. Two straps cross over the front and side of the ankle, while a third wraps around the heel, all connected by a central metal ring at the ankle joint. The boot shaft includes an elasticized gusset on the lateral side, characteristic of a Chelsea boot, which allows for ease of wear. The stitching appears consistent and proportional throughout the vamp and heel counter, suggesting industrial manufacturing quality. There are no visible maker's marks or logos on the exterior leather. The condition appears to be very good with light creasing across the toe box and minor surface scuffing consistent with gentle use. The style is modern, likely dating from the 2010s to present, blending elements of motorcycle gear with contemporary urban fashion.
