Cognac color, zipper opening, and a comfy, baby wedge heel! These can be worn with the shaft folded up, down, or in between-whatever you choose, it will stay while wearing. The shaft is super soft leather and lined with fluff in great condition, though you may want to replace the insoles (I can ship without). Boots are in great condition, one small stain on the toe of one boot that I haven’t tried to remove. Bottoms are in great condition!
