The zebra print-covered uppers are made from a high-end calf hair, whereas the leather accents that are featured on the pointed toes are made from a patented leather. The heel height is approximately 4 inches, helping to dramatically elongate the legs for a more flattering look, especially when paired with summery dresses and skirts.
