Get the boot.

Vienna-based Ludwig Reiter do bags, shoes and take the sloane factor out of riding boots.

These Vachetta leather brogues for summer are a dusty pink.

This vienna weave "Slatin Pasha" shoe is made from antique calf and mounted on Salzburg lasts with linen lining. This shoe was named after Viennese Rudolf Slatin who fought as an officer of queen victoria in Egypt and Sudan

The Vienna weave translates excellently into a dainty riding boot. The vienna weave is made by weaving 6mm wide leather strips on a loom in a diamond shaped linen weave similar to yarn weaves for cloth fabrics.
