These Callisto boots by Paloma Wool in black patent leather have inner zip fastening and a wooden leather-covered wedge heel. The boots are in decent shape and still have a lot of life left in them. The inside of the boots are close to pristine. The outside body of the right boot definitely has some scratches and a couple of small places where the leather has come off. If you look at the closeup comparison of the front of the 2 boots in photo 3, you can see that the front of the right boot is more scratched than the front of the left boot. The most prominent scratch/place where the leather has actually come off is shown in photo 4 - on the ankle side of the right boot toward the back. The body of the left boot is in great shape. However, the back of the heel on the left boot has some scratches as you can see in both photos 4 and 5. Please review all the photos carefully so you can understand the condition of the boots. The boots are labeled an EU size 39, which is approximately a US size 8.5 according to several online conversion charts I found online. Please review the below measurements carefully to ensure the boots will be a good fit for you. Length of Sole: 9.75" Width of Sole @ Widest: 3.25" Back Length (Bottom of Sole - Top of Boot): 9.33" Please let me know if you have any questions.
