These are gorgeous and were only worn once for a special occasion. Very light wear. The lighter areas on the velvet are only reflection. The only part of the velvet that actually shows wear is a little at the toe area. Please look at all photos for additional description. First 3 are stock photos. *Yes these are the ones worn by Taylor Swift* EU size is 41, which is US size 11. They measure from heel to toe, 10.5”. Please measure to make sure fit will be correct for you. Thank you! The Aquazzura Twist Slide Sandal in Merlot exudes an alluring blend of opulence and sleek sophistication. Swathed in wine-hued padded velvet, these slides resonate with luxe Italian craftsmanship, offering a tactile experience that’s as rich to touch as it is to behold. The sculptural trumpet heel introduces a sculpted elegance that promises not only a head-turning presence but also a graceful lift. Whether worn with cropped denim for a casual-cool vibe or a slinky dress for something more elevated, these sandals pivot with your every mood. * Luxurious wine-hued padded velvet straps * Sculptural trumpet heel * Cushioned footbed * Textile and leather lining * Made in Italy Questions?
