A cap toe on a boot is an old piece of shoemaking language, borrowed here from menswear. A separate panel is stitched across the very front of the toe in a contrasting tone, breaking the boot into two sections rather than leaving it as one continuous piece of upper.
Above that, thin laces cross in a straightforward pattern up a round toe box, closing the shaft snugly without a zip anywhere in sight - just laces from the vamp to the top of the ankle. The finish is a faux-leather with a soft, slightly grained surface, and the sole is low and stacked rather than heeled, wide enough to walk on for a full day without registering as a heel at all.
The contrast toe is what lifts it out of being a plain lace-up - a menswear detail borrowed for a boot that otherwise keeps everything else simple.
