I bought these beauties from another posher. Unfortunately they were too small and in pretty bad shape. I put some money into them and they look near new! New leather soles and wood heels. Shaft is not leather, but has what I think is maybe calf hair dyed to look like a tiger. Some original damage on left toe was also concealed by my cobbler and is not noticeable. Shaft is about 9" high from the ankle. PRICE FIRM! Please ask any additional questions!
