Silvertone buckle set on each shoe. slanted side zippers. 2” leather covered block heels. Thick rubber sole on shoe and heel. 8” total height. Like new. Small mark on left shoe, see pic. Booties have a distressed design. I never wore outside. If going to wear thick socks and you are 9 also, you may opt for 40. That was my issue with these. 8.5 with thick socks ok and 9 ok with thinner socks or tights. non smoker, well cared for and please ask questions. Happy to discuss.
