Black bullhide under a navy volcano top — the same two-tone idea as its brown sibling, dressed for a darker room.
The vamp is bullhide in black, and the shaft above it is navy volcano, so the contrast is between two dark colours rather than a light one and a dark one. It reads as one boot from across a room and as two from beside it, which is the point. The toe is round, the shape that keeps a two-tone boot from tipping over into costume.
Black is the reason this version works where a brighter pairing would not. It can be worn out for the evening without any explanation, and worn to work the next morning without changing anything. Let the navy show — over a trouser rather than under one — and keep the rest of the outfit plain, since the boot has already made its decision. Round toes are the comfortable end of the range, but check width first if you sit between two sizes.
