Retail price: $550, Current selling price: $385. My price: $249+ shipping. Offers will be considered as well.

I am heartbroken but I have to sell these because they are too big. Instead of wearing them around the house, or posting a K/R, I was so excited to get these that I wore them immediately. Unfortunately even with pads and thick socks they are too long for me. Compared to other R&B boots (Newbury or Harrow) I believe they run a half size big. So if you wear a 37.5 these might be perfect.

The color is "Asphalt" -- a faded black with brown accent leather that goes with black, grey, brown or denim. Heel is 2.25" and I can attest to the comfort of these. They are really flattering too; you can either tuck your jeans into them or pull them over the straps (the horizontal straps keep skinnies from sliding up too short, above the bootie -- a brilliant feature). These do not have a tight ankle fit.

I just got these a few weeks ago, they are still available on Shopbop - check the rave reviews.

I am at work at the moment and will post real pictures of the leather sole in particular, when I get home. These Shopbop stock photos (#1 and 2) are very true to color.

ETA: Added pictures of actual shoes 3-5.
