Purchased in 2008 at Max Mara store in Waikiki. Retail value $510. I wore these shoes once and were quite comfy for a high shoe...the heel is 4" but it's offset by the 1" platform. Beautiful Italian craftsmanship. Thick taupe/brown leather (w/brown stitching) and chocolate brown patent leather accent around sides & heel back. Heavy silver buckles. Sturdy wood heel and platform. Leather in & out soles. All around gorgeous shoes. **Sport Max dustbag & set of Xtra heels included. EXCELLENT CONDITION
