Who doesn't want the long version of our signature classic, the Gaucho - here we deliver it to you with Long Gaucho. The toe shape of this style was inspired by seeing someone in the distance crossing the road - their slightly too big boots had seen many years of wear and the toe shape was curling up yet the Cuban heels were still in good shape. Teamed with a skinny jean this silhouette spoke to us and we played with it until we had the Long Gaucho. Because you can't get elastic this long, we had to experiment with different materials to replace it - finally settling on wetsuit material! I just love how tough and sexy these boots make me feel - there is something corset like to them in the way they shape around the ankle and heel.

Keeping it simple we are offering this in hand distressed and antiqued oxblood or silver - both colours that work well for those of you who love black but want something different.

Powerful, tough, statement making - these boots make me feel like a warrior on her day off - wear with floaty dresses to toughen them up and ensure you don't feel too dainty - or wear everyday with jeans, skirts - these boots are made for walking!

You will need a stocking or thin sock to pull these ankle hugging beauties onto the foot – don’t be afraid to give them a good hard pull and push with your foot to slide into this glove like style!

The fit of this style is true to size.

In a time when the ‘exclusive’ European brands we so often associate with the term ‘limited edition’, are making their shoes in the tens and hundreds of thousands per style at prices often  exceeding $1300, our micro team at Preston Zly are making around 500 pairs a year – by hand – spread over 16 designs. Now that’s what I call limited edition.
