I bought this pair when I was in Taipei, Taiwan last year. This is actually the second pair I got in Taipei. The first one was black and it didn't last long. This brown leather one has zippers on the side as opposed to the first one which has no zippers at all. The heels isn't really high and it is only about one inch I think. You can walk a lot in these boots. I love it when I tucked my jeans in it. I hope to get back to Taiwan so I can get my hands on more boots hehe
