Description
These elegant black East 5th slingback sandals feature a sophisticated peep-toe design and a manageable low-to-mid wedge heel. The focal point is a polished silver-tone circular ornament where the straps converge over the instep. Elasticized slingback straps ensure a flexible fit. Perfect for office wear, weddings, or formal events, these shoes offer both style and comfort.
Key Features
Polished silver-tone hardware, classic black colorway, wedge heel for stability, flexible slingback strap, and 'Regular/Wide' fit capability which is highly searched for by buyers with specific size needs.
Authenticity Indicators

Flaws to Note
Minor dust/lint accumulation on the black faux-suede fabric (common for this material) and potential light scuffing on the polished silver-tone ornament that may not be visible in photos.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay are the best venues. Facebook Marketplace is also an option for local sales to avoid shipping costs on a lower-value item.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Formal,' 'Business Professional,' 'Wedding Guest,' and 'Comfort.' If they are 'Wide Width,' make sure to include 'WW' or 'Wide' in the title as that is a major selling point. Clean the faux suede with a lint roller before photographing.
