These sandals are in great condition, and have minimal signs of wear. There is a little bit of light scuffing on one of the heels (see picture) but in person it is really not as noticeable as the picture suggests. I am the original owner. Heel height is 3 inches when measured from the back. Dark brown color is rich and versatile to go with nearly anything! Dress them up or down- these shoes are a fantastic addition to any closet!
