Shoes have about a 2.5" wedge heel. Black straps on a neutral/tan base. Sketchers FOAM brand. As a Floridian, I picked these up because they looked comfortable and I'm always sliding on flip-flops to leave the house. Your gain is that they hid in my closet instead of in the mudroom, so I barely wore these! Cleaning out my closet and it's time to say goodbye. Pet-free, smoke-free home.
