I haven’t been a size 8.5 in years. These Dior black patent booties were purchased at Nordstroms a few years back then kept in dust cover and box in my closet. These have a reptile embossing and the signature Dior “D”. There are what look some fade spots on the black patent that I actually had to take a double take to see if it wasn’t just light highlights. My offer price reflects these minor imperfections. Maybe this happens from just sitting in the box. Side zipper. Very comfortable booties.
