The jewels which are all intact, are attached to a leather upper. EVA foam is at the top of the footbed and the bottom layer is flexible rubber for durability and grip. The sole is APPROXIMATELY 1/2" thick at the front and 1 and 1/8" at the heel. These sandals are in excellent condition! The only flaw is that the label on the top heel of the shoe has worn off a bit (this can't be seen when they are worn). Dress up, or down!
