This beautiful model is the De Niro S26T03. This boot has a high lace up front, which creates a unique, exclusive look. Furthermore, the boot is the same as the De Niro Ottaviano model. The difference between this lace-up boot and the S8603 lace-up boot is that this boot has an elastic lace with a closed front. So the S26T03 model has a "fake lace", this boot will not fall open when the lace is out. Over the zipper at the back is a zipper protector both below and above. Like all De Niro boots, this boot is made of good quality Italian leather.
