These boots are bad ass & beautiful. Not for the faint of heart....more for a heart breaker, femme fatal, dominatrix, dancer, or mere temptress! They are brand new in the box (albeit the box has seen better days!), never been worn, no detectable flaws (the construction is high quality... I was surprised by the low price!), they are European sz 42, which is a U.S.A. sz 11....however, I'm a sz 10 , and they fit me perfectly (I attached a pic of the original store description that says 'runs small-size up!'). Also, they can be tightened/loosened to fit around any size thigh/calf and the buckles can actually be adjusted/removed to display the buckle anywhere along the circumfrence of the boot. Any questions, feel free to ask! Thanks for looking!
