Not as hard to walk in as you might think. This pair of Ellie platform dollie boots have a platform heel, and a lace up and grommet lace-tie closure. They also have side zippers that are well-functioning. They've been in storage for a very long time, and my clubbing days are long behind me. These are super cute, but they have issues that will need to be addressed (I tried to show this in the pics.) These are not leather. I don't know what they're made of, but evidently, it's not a particularly durable material. There are some abrasions to the surfaces of both boots. One boot has a tiny piece of material that's lifted up. There is also a blue-ish discoloration on one of the heels. One of the boots will need to be taken into a shoe repair shop to have the sole re-glued, which is about a $20 repair. (I wasn't aware of this problem until I started to take these photos. I took a photo of this as well.) I try to only list good quality items in my closet, and I've been on the fence about listing these for awhile now. I'm going to go ahead and list them, but may take them down soon. The only reason why I'm offering them is because I only noticed these problems when I physically picked these up from the storage box and inspected them. Because they're white, the defects are not readily noticeable.
