The color is brown. I fell in love with the lace-up and side ribbon tie and bought these. They show some signs of wear, but are still wearable. The heels are slightly worn down. These are half boots without a zipper, and the top 10cm is fur, so they're warm. There is some dirt on the toes, but it's not very noticeable, but please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. I think they would look good with shorts. Thank you. The toes can get cold, so I recommend using a warm insole from a 100-yen shop to keep your feet warm.
