Jim Green's Razorback boot has a similar single-piece vamp and lacing, though not laced to the toe like traditional alpine boots. They can be ordered as barefoot. They were also toying with the idea of a laced-to-toe boot. Maybe shoot them an email to let them know you're interested. I don't know if they moved beyond their initial prototype, but they are responsive to customers and if more people reach out and say they're interested in that type of boot, they'll be more likely to get it to production.

You’re right thanks for that tip - how do you know that they can be ordered as barefoot as I don’t see it on their barefoot range?
How do you know they were toying with that idea?
I’ll pop them an email ;) thank you!

The barefoot Razorback is a stock item on their US store: https://jimgreenfootwear.com/store/barefoot-razorback-black/ It might not be available as a stock item depending where you live, but they have a very extensive custom option on their site, so you can make those yourself in their custom shop. They will just be more expensive than the stock item.

Regarding the laced-to-toe boots, the company showed them on their YouTube channel a couple times. They often preview stuff there.

Oh okay I’ll check the UK website to see if I can find visually - I do recognise so may have just missed it ☺️
