These cozy black leather boots lace up and are lined in black faux fur. The chunky stacked brown heels are 1 3/4" high and the soles have significant treading to keep you from slipping on ice and snow. The shafts are 7" high. They have leather tabs on the backs to pull them on. Taos is stamped on the lower sides near the back of the boots and also on the bottoms. Only worn twice but very comfortable.
