These boots are as pretty on the inside as the are in the outside. They have a 3” heel sturdy. Size 40 which I believe is a size 9. The flowers on this boot are purple, yellow blue, green and gray (muted). The fancy detail on the left side of the boot look like roses. Red, orange, blue and yellow stitching. Each boot has a slightly different pattern. There is nice cushion padding and a zipper that opens wide, making the boot easier to put on. They are better in person.
