My loss is your gain!!! Due to recent joint issues, I have to say "Good bye" to these fun shoes. These L.E. I.'s are well loved and have been warn many times. There is still a lot of use left in these slid ons. The fringe in a few places are curled a bit but in good condition. The heel is 4 1/2 inches but are so comfortable that you can wear them for ever. The tops look like suede with ribbon laced around the top and finished in a bow.
