these are a pair of gently used Stuart Weitzman tall boots. Therein lies the problem for me. They are a size 5 but still too tall for my short legs. I liked the stretch fabric in the rear - makes it comfy to wear because it moves with you. They have a zipper for easy on and off too. they are basically flats, with a rounded toe, and the neck is slightly higher in the front than the back. The label inside simply says all manmade material - so i guess that means not real leather. I don't really have any info other than that. I would have definitely said they were leather in the front. It's a sturdy, classic, practical piece of footwear for someone who could use it. I've looked at them on my boot rack for about 20 years now. Worn only a handful of times. Great condition, great price - don't miss out.
