World Wisdom: Franco Sarto Dizzy Boot

 

Caleres recently announced that the Franco Sarto Dizzy boot won the Accessories Council Design Excellence Award in the category of footwear under $250.

The Dizzy is a lug-sole, lace-up, water-repellent cold-weather boot. The upper and linings are partially made from recycled materials. In its inaugural Environmental Social Governance report issued in 2020, Caleres developed a variety of 2025 ESG targets, including a commitment that 100% of its products will use environmentally preferred materials by that date. The company is well on its way to meeting that goal as outlined in its 2021 ESG report. The Dizzy boot is available in two colors – brown and chiffon multi – on francosarto.com and many other e-commerce sites, as well as in select department and specialty stores nationwide.
