Cute boots! Shafts are made of a soft material with decorative stitching on each side. Bottoms are a man made material but both feel leather-like to me. 1 1/2 inch heel. I bought on a whim at Cracker Barrel restaurant! 😀 I thought they would be fun! They fit at the store with thick socks on but after I got home and tried them on without swollen shoppers feet they are a little too big
