In 1999 John Fluevog designed the legendary "Grand National" cloven hoofed boot. Ten years later, to commemorate this famous heel, John created the inverse heel to the GN in the LA family. Side zipped with a 6" wedged heel molded in an Italian factory that specialized in extreme high heels, they were not for the faint of heart. Melrose was a bitchin' knee high boot made of Italian Luminato leathers and gold leather lining. The Grand Nationals have an average width but are short in the toe. Go up a half or a full size. If you feel like you're sliding forward and hitting the end, use an insole or a halter pad to keep your foot in place. Will consider reasonable offers!
