This is a gorgeous pair of black, sparkly pumps. The heel measures 3", however there is a hidden 1" platform in the footbed area. This makes the shoe feel more like a 2" heel. They were worn for one event. Please refer to pictures. These shoes are clean with minimal scuffing on the bottom and no visible signs of wear on the inside. They are marked a 39.5. I wear an 8.5 and these fit me very well.
