Once again... in my search for the perfect black bootie.. These are badass and comfortable but they are just not "ME"! They are a cool black snake pattern and they look so cool with skinny jeans. I just feel like an imposter in them :( I checked the Matisse site and it looks like they don't even carry this style anymore. The heel is 2 1/2" high. They deserve a badass, confident person to rock them!
