RARE Zoraide black ponyskin heeled booties, IT40, immaculate

Artemis heeled bootie by Zoraide in the softest black ponyskin, lined with soft cream leather, size IT40/9.5, an extremely rare & collectible shoe. Heels measure just under 4.5"; my size 9.5 feet fit into them, but they are a narrow fit. Worn exactly once, the only signs of wear are slight scuffing on the soles. I first encountered Zoraide shoes around 2010, and immediately started collecting them They're made by one of the oldest shoe-making families in Italy, the heels are hand carved by Italian shoe elves, & only 400 pairs were released of each model. Originally, every single model released was priced at $1650 USD, although I believe that may have changed in more recent years. Zoraide started out specializing in high-end shoes aimed at professional dancers and drew wider attention when Madonna wore a custom pair in her Girl Gone Wild video in 2012. There's definitely something magical about every pair of Zoraide shoes - beyond the rarity, the impeccable hand craftsmanship and the sense that these are shoes made for actual princesses, they're also the most comfortable heels I've ever experienced. There's something about the last that supports your heel, and they never feel as high as they actually are, which I suppose is to be expected from a shoe-making family that has made shoes for dancers for decades. This shoe is literally a work of art, one which deserves to be on display in a glass case when not being worn. Absolutely no lowball offers.
