"Ok, the 129$ price was a bit high for me, but I did have a discount-- I have a permanent foot injury so need security near the top of my foot The leather is soft and beautiful, stitching is lovely, lined with a baby soft short fuzzy lining, the heel isn't too high. Euro sizing, I wear 8m and chart said go with 38 for 7 1/2--8. I went with 39 to wear with my winter knee-hi's. But before I wear them, think I'm going to order the 38 to try out since the toe area is a bit long."
