Distressed Leather Chunky Y2K Boots with Buckle Detail by Nine West Size: US 9 Women's Material: Not listed. Appears to be leather upper and manmade balance. Very very cool shoes. That make you very, very tall. These shoes also seem very comfortable. Have to pass them on because I don't have enough occasions to wear high heels. Material is really interesting, I'm not sure if there's an official name for it, but I would describe it as "a matte distressed leather". I think similar to suede these would be best to not take out in the rain. Condition: Like New Vintage. While the leather is "distressed," I believe this is part of the design. Soles and heels show very little signs of wear.
