This is the kind of construction that made the original Carpe Diem footwear so important: extremely simple at first glance, but incredibly considered in pattern, material and construction. The back-lace python model is documented as the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eS63M\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, with examples specifically described as ultra-rare.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe boots have Carpe Diem’s characteristic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eelongated curved\/upturned toe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, tall shaft and narrow, elongated last.

The construction is extremely substantial throughout, with carefully joined leather panels, visible edge finishing and a heavy stacked leather heel. The soles are traditionally attached with visible metal screws\/rivets, giving the footwear that unmistakable hand-built, artisanal quality rather than the appearance of a conventional mass-produced boot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe python has developed an incredible dry, textured surface with the scales remaining highly pronounced across the entire boot. Original Carpe Diem examples from this period are associated with Italian production and traditional leather construction; comparable early-00s python back-lace examples are documented with leather lining, leather insoles and Blake construction.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is some \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edamage to the interior leather around the back-lace tie area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
