Margaux 'The Boot' in Mulberry suede Italian suede upper and leather lining Handmade in Spain A classic chelsea boot with an almond toe and zipper closure 2.5 inch heel Per the website: "These are designed to be worn with thin socks, go up a half a size if you'd like to wear them with thicker socks." Size 42 = women's size 11 (or 10.5 with thick socks!) The suede is in perfect condition! These were too big for me so I just wore them around the house, never outside!
