These beautiful purple lace-up ankle boots are perfect for adding a bold statement to any outfit. They are made of smooth and quilted man made materials with zippers on each side of the boot. The purple zipper zips open all the way (pic #6), while the gold zipper opens to a sort of small pocket lined in purple fabric suitable for storing cash or maybe a credit card (pic #7). There is at least one thread, but it's not that noticeable (pic #8) and a couple of scuffs on one shoe. The worst is shown in picture #9. These boots have been gently used but are still in excellent shape. They are actually darker than the pictures show. sorry, no returns, exchanges, or trades.
