Purchased at Aquazzura Boutique, Madison Avenue, NYC. Excellent condition, worn once. Photos of soles show wear marks from that one time. Velvet and interior of shoes are in near-flawless condition. Please note that velvet inherently has differentials the way the light hits it or the way it is touched. Kitten Heel is 2" high from bottom of heel to top of heel, and and 2-3/8" high from bottom of heel to top of sole. IT 40.5, US Women's 10.5. I usually wear a 40 and these fit me well. Extremely comfortable, beautiful, and chic. Stored in a dust-free, pet-free, smoke-free home.
