These are faux leather, calf-high boots with an old-fashioned look to them.  I bought them to go with a fancy dress costume (schoolmarm).  They fit true to size, have an inside zipper, and lace up the front (eyelets).  They sort of have an Oxford look to them.  The sole has a nice non-skid surface.  The heel is very easy on which to walk, because it's stable, low, and has a wide base.
