Women's Black Suede Knee-High or Over-the-Knee Boots

This item is a pair of women's knee-high or over-the-knee boots, characterized by their sleek, tall shaft and dark color. The boots appear to be constructed from a black suede-like material, which gives them a soft, matte finish, visible across the entire surface of both the shaft and the foot portion. The material shows slight variations in texture and nap, characteristic of suede, with some minor signs of wear or nap disturbance, particularly around the creases that form where the shaft bends. The overall color is a consistent deep black, suggesting a dyeing process that has held up well. Physically, the boots feature a relatively narrow silhouette from the ankle upwards, indicative of a design meant to fit closely to the leg. There is no visible zipper or lacing system in the presented view, implying either a full pull-on style or a side zipper not facing the camera. The toe shape appears to be rounded or almond-shaped, contributing to a classic and versatile look. The heels are block-style, as evidenced by the thick, stable appearance of the heel on the right boot. The soles appear to be dark in color, likely rubber or a composite material, providing some grip. The boots exhibit some general wear consistent with use, such as minor scuffing on the heels and edges of the soles, and perhaps some light compaction of the suede in high-flex areas. No significant damage, tears, or repairs are immediately apparent. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for fashion boots, with clean stitching lines where visible. Based on the style, these boots likely date from the late 2000s to the present day, aligning with contemporary fashion trends for tall boots.
