Beautiful Italian flats in a striking turquoise python print style. These have optional gold chains that can be attached to the flat and worn around the ankle for a very delicate, feminine and unique look. The gold chains are substantial, not plastic but definitely metal. I was completely entranced when I found these flats, but never actually got to wear them. Beautiisoles is a shoe company from an American designer, whose shoes are made in Italy. They are custom and quality shoes, considered somewhat luxury, with price points ranging from $295 to upwards over $500. These are a size 38, I wear a standard women's size 8 and these fit me perfectly. Hopefully someone else can put these fanciful shoes to use and give them the wear they deserve!
