These boots have alot of life left in them.They were worn enough to have a marks on the back of the heel that could very easily be filled in with a wood marker or something of the sort. I LOVE these boots but it's time to find them a good home as I can no longer where anything with even the smallest heel.Chunky heel is about 2.5 in. The color of the boots are like a grayish brown stone color. Made by Natural Soul.They are very comfortable.
