Barefoot chukka boot, color is black, fabric is a water-resistant suede. Wide toe box and zero drop sole make for a barefoot feel. Looks like it has a raised heel but it is actually zero drop. Elastic laces for slipping on/off very easily. Honestly a lot of good thought went into this show design. Purchased, worn a handful of times, and discovered I didn't really like the suede look. No scratches or tears in the fabric or tread. Gently worn. Retailed for $197 when purchased. Comes from a smoke-free home. My loss is your gain, you are getting these for quite the bargain!
