These heels have never been worn and they also come with the original box. Unfortunately, they do have defects though. The velvet started to compress and have indentations from being in the box for too long. I attempted to fix the left heel but ended up making it look worse. Depending on the angle you hold the shoes and the lighting it looks different. The color is a very dark brown, almost black. I have added lots of photo, so please be sure to view them all. If you have any questions please message me.
