these are handcrafted leather shoes, the barefoot description is based on the facade sole size, the inner sole is very close to the bottom. gives a scientifically studied closer to the earth feel. extremely well crafted, i believe these shoes will outlive me. the condition of the shoes are flawless however i'd get a new pair of shoelaces for sure. the stock image was as close to these as i could find with an hour of research, they are for sure brown colored however the have a black sole vs. the emerald color in the stock image... also them being mostly brown there is a reddish for sure hue to them not quite burgundy but not quite brown brown... a uniquely limited colorway.

  p.s. tip of toe <--> to back of heel, measuring length of the sole = 11" exactly.

   ---> in stock and immediately ready for shipping!!!
