These boots are incredible and truly, quite literally one of a kind. They came off of a designer showcase where they were trying new designs - too bad they didn't pick this one up, because it's a favorite of mine. You know that Clark's are made for comfort, and you can see it in the leather insole, construction, block heel, and toe platform. The front half of the shoe is leather, the back half is a textured suede in a diamong pattern that goes down the heel as well. There are zipper enclosures on both sides in gunmental gray, which helps put these on. Everything is a beautiful, deep, crimson/wine red. These should fit a 7/7.5. The heel is ~3-3.5" but don't forget that the platform makes them more comfortable. I'm not sure I've worn these more than once. Please take them and show them off!
