Gold zippers close up the backs of Jimmy Choo's Navy Suede Alanis Booties, right above the four and a half inch skinny navy patent heels! There is a bit of a platform under the toes, but does half an inch really count? Navy suede with beige leather linings and beige soles with rubber inset into the centers, they are nine inches from the floor to the tops, just enough to give fashion a run for its money!
