The Lady Florimel are a feminine style boot made of black leather and are a medium width. They are surprisingly comfortable and give you a little lift through the 2 1/4"heel. Laces at back are a great new feature & these do not have a zipper which makes them more "period" appropriate. In addition to being worn upright these can also be "cuffed/folded" over to create a "bucket" as they are leather lined on the inside about 8" down the front center. It's always nice to have that option so that the boots remain versatile. These are true to size, but only come in whole sizes. Thus, if you are a 1/2 size ie 7.5 go up to the 8. If you wear a 9, order the 9....etc. If you are in doubt of your size, it's always better to go up than down.
