These are really fantastic boots, in the maroon/red colorway. They're nubuck with patent, and they are just beautiful in person! I love them, but the height doesn't work for me, can no longer wear heels after an injury to ankle and knee. Worn once for less than 2 hours, excellent like-new condition. I found they run a little small - I'm a street 8.5, and these fit well. I wear a 9 in most Fluevog styles. Here's the info from the Fluevog website: Made in Portugal Smooth and suede or tumbled nubuck leathers Brushed silver buckles Inside zipper Rubber soles 2.5" leather wrapped heel with a rubber heel lift Reheelable In original box, with care instructions. You will love these!! ❤️
