A left gold heeled sandal with an ankle strap and an open toe. There are two gold straps that encircle both the ankle and the heel made from synthetic leather. The strap secures with a gold metal prong-less buckle on the proper left side. A band of gold synthetic metallic fabric goes over the toe bed. It’s edged with the same gold synthetic leather used for the straps and tapers slightly inward at the middle. The outer sole is made from one panel of leather and has a high heel with a black rubber heel cap. At the outer ball of the foot is a partially torn off white sticker that reads [HR2 / 00] in black handwriting. An additional white sticker at the arch reads [#155 / 6B] also in black handwriting. The inner sole, made from a single panel of faux leather extends from the heel and ends just shy of the toe bed and the toe bed is made from the same material as the gold band that goes over the toes. Handwritten on the interior ankle heel strap is [6B#155] in blue pen. There is no brand label.
