Size 38 is US size 7.5 Ankle boot with rounded toe, leather upper with flexible Respira soles. Snakeskin embossed leather on the front gives this boot some character. Zippers on both sides are functional, but the outer zipper is only to give extra expansion if you need to slip on and off easier. Inner zipper opens completely to allow entry into shoe. GEOX style D16LQB Excellent used condition - worn once for a trip in Italy during the late winter and they were perfect. Comfortable for lots of walking, stylish and protected my feet from the elements.
