These have never been worn...back zipper...embellished with gold filigree trim & as Joan Boyce would say these are STATEMENT BOOTS!!!! They fit true to size, fabric has the feel of velvet with some stretch. Heels are skinny & 2.5" high No box but the original stuffing is still inside. The gold trim is in a rose pattern & really adds to the style...just picture wearing all black with some gold jewelry & wow! But jeans would look super too! THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR CLOSET! Comes from a smoke and pet free home.
