These black leather pumps are in METICULOUS condition. No scratches. I've worn them only a handful of times. If I had not walked on non-carpeted surface, you wouldn't see the soles with marks, because they've been worn no more than a handful of times. The front platform is 7/8" and overall, the heels are 3.5". The shoes run true to size, 5M, and are very comfortable. I no longer wear high heels, so these shoes need a new home.
