shiekh use to be MAJOR in the heel game. they fell off at random. but I absolutely loved their selections, prices, quality and collected so many pairs! these have a felt like material. the platform and heel give that high off the ground effect. bottoms are a metallic fuschia that gives an extra spark to the style. LIKE NEW, no visible wear or staining. no stretch, perfect fit literally out the box. (also includes original box) comfy to wear if you can walk the walk ;)
