These Boots were on sale for a "BOGO" (buy one pair get one free)...you get what you pay for. They are 13" tall and have a standard 1-3/4" cowboy heel, pointed toe. They look good, and the python has held up well, and looks good contrasting with denim jeans. The uppers are made of some sort of man-made material and has worn oddly. But from time to time, they get out of the closet and on the street. While the back-cut python looks great, the man-made material on the Boot shaft is uncomfortable.
