The Johnny boot might be the most coveted and memorable item to emerge from Tom Fords' time as the head design director of YSL during the from 2000-2004. This boot launched in 2004.Designed by Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Guache gorgeous sleek side zip boot in lucious Black with an elongated wing tipThis gorgeous boot is butter soft leather. Made in Italy. Has a Cuban heel (2.5") a wing tip and a side zip.It is as manly as a western boot and at the same time has a dash of 70's androgyny (New York Dolls)I purchased them for myself and I am a woman. I loved them sooooooo. I wear an 8 1/2 -9. I only wore them a couple times because they were a bit narrow for me. I think if you are a woman purchasing - you should be an 8-81/2 and a 39 translates into a Man size 7
