Putty colored boots. I've reworked the leather on the foot section and have given it more of a nubuck feel. 11" shaft from the top of the sole. Inside shaft is clean and there is a removable insole. Yes they are a women's 12. My husband tried them on and he's a men's 10.5/11 in boots. Wider shaft circumference is about 15" plus a deep v in front and back. Definitely will accommodate a wider or more athletic calf. I happy to answer any questions. Non smoking home. Reasonable offers always considered!🙂
