These shoes are made from luxurious snake effect leather in either oyster or pewter that could be worn with many outfits. The side of the shoe is finished with 4 bows and 2 butterflies with a black background and irredescent jewels-sooooo pretty! They are exceptionally comfortable- I have these shoes, they are very padded on the sole and you can dance away all night! 4 1/2 inch heel with 1 inch satin platform for a bit of extra height
