Sandals have two bands across foot. Insole is padded and platform is braided. There is a tiny loose thread on the top strap on the left shoe: see photo. Comes with dustbag and box. Shoe measures just shy of 9.5" from toe to heel. I am a size 6 and they run slightly longer than an exact 6. EU sizing 36.5. Color is called Crust Gold but this is not a metallic gold shoe, it is a natural gold tone. The first photo most closely matches the actual color.Braided platform - 2"Upper: 100% raffiaLining: 100% goat leatherOutsole: 100% elastomer
