The style is country meets punk. I was looking for purple boots with studs or spikes and these were the best looking ones at a great price. The description say's velvet but the material feels like suede. The color is purple grape. I clean them with a baby wipe and they're good as new. They zip up on the side and are easy to put on and take off. Very comfortable with a chunky heel. I wore them to a show where I was standing for a few hours and they passed the comfort test.
