These beautiful Marc Fischer Boots have literally been worn once inside my home. They are a size 8 1/2 (too big for me). They zip up the side, and are super comfortable. The color is a dark gray. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. I live on the coast, in El Granada (approx. 5 miles North of Half Moon Bay), but can easily ship to anywhere at a normal cost. Thank you for your interest.
