Rios’s signature “spring toe” is not a finished shape from the start; it develops through walking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCassidy Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis pair was created with Butch Cassidy, the protagonist of the film \u003ci\u003eButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid\u003c\/i\u003e, in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAn outlaw with humor and intelligence.\u003cbr\u003eThat character, impossible to describe through simple roughness alone, is expressed in a distinctive color based on RED with touches of PINK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe upper uses thick calf leather.\u003cbr\u003eCombination tanning preserves the leather’s substantial presence while giving it the suppleness to conform to the foot when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe toe is the particularly sharp “A LONG TOE,” one of Rios of Mercedes’ signature shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBecause artisans shape each one by shaving the leather, they are never completely uniform.\u003cbr\u003eSubtle differences between the left and right boots and slight variations in the outline remain, creating the character of handmade Western boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe shaft features embroidery stitching known as “JOHN PAT.”\u003cbr\u003eLayering GOLDEN BROWN, GOLD, and CREAM creates depth that a single color could not achieve. Against the RED and PINK upper, the warm-toned threads blend in like a gradient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe sole is leather.\u003cbr\u003eTraditional lemonwood pegs are driven in, and the bottom is finished half-black.\u003cbr\u003eWhile retaining the rugged construction of a Western boot, it reveals a refined elegance reminiscent of a dress shoe when the foot turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe tongue has perforations, although they may not be included depending on the size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs the boots are worn, the once-vivid RED gradually settles, while the leather’s pull-up reveals varied shading ranging from PINK to BURGUNDY.\u003cbr\u003eCreases form, the sheen increases, and the toe’s upturn gradually becomes more pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe vivid red is not left as merely a flashy boot.\u003cbr\u003eCassidy Red is made to deepen in color with time and become your own through wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e※ Boots made in the American workshop may vary slightly from pair to pair. Please enjoy the marks and variations in color unique to natural leather, along with the differences in character created by handwork, as part of these boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have written a BLOG about Rios of Mercedes; please take a look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/storecliche.com\/blogs\/pick-up\/not-just-western-boots\"\u003e・“The Rios of Mercedes Genre”\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/storecliche.com\/blogs\/pick-up\/cassidy-red-sundance-gold\"\u003e・Cassidy Red \/ Sundance Gold ― The Last Rios of Mercedes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rios of Mercedes","offers":[{"title":"RED \/ US 8.5D","offer_id":42508298354762,"sku":null,"price":330000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"RED \/ US 9D","offer_id":42508298387530,"sku":null,"price":330000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"RED \/ US 9.5D","offer_id":42508298420298,"sku":null,"price":330000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"RED \/ US 10D","offer_id":42508298453066,"sku":null,"price":330000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"RED \/ US 10.5D","offer_id":42508301893706,"sku":null,"price":330000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"RED \/ US 11D","offer_id":42508301926474,"sku":null,"price":330000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/6174\/8554\/files\/L1000933_ce2cc5e4-9dcd-44a1-a0ec-749d2014d131.jpg?v=1757581308","url":"https:\/\/storecliche.com\/en\/products\/rios-of-mercedes-cassidy-red","provider":"cliché","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
