These L’Artiste shoes look great with just about everything! I only wore them a few times indoors as the heel is a little high for me . They are a size 38 ( size 8) and the heel measures about 2 1/2” tall . The zippers are toward the inside of the foot so the gorgeous design shows on the outer side. As the photos show , they are in beautiful condition . Photos look like they are brown but they are more black.
