These boots are very cushiony on the inside .. like a pillow .. seriously .. no lie .. it's like walking on a structured cushion pillow made for a foot!! The padding goes all the way to the tip of the toes ... but thins out toward the toes so that your toes are not squished. I've NEVER had a boot or a shoe cushioned like this, period. I was going to wait to do a review until I wore them out but I'll just do an update later. I agree with everyone, if they make a wide in your size order it. My foot is slender .. not to the point to where I wear a N or N/A sized show, which as you know stands for narrow .. but still I ordered a C/D (wide size 10 and they fit great. I have space around my toes for all of my toes .. with no squishing or tightness around the side of my toes. Just a heads up .. if you're not sure what color taupe is .. it's a mixture of tan with a bit of a peachy color. I've included two pictures .. the first picture is with two lights on the room, and the second picture is with one light on in the room. I hope this helps. The are made of a high quality material. I'm not sure if it's leather, but that would be my closest guess, if they're not leather. They fit well and are easy to zip up. They came package well .. (stuffed at the toe, foam leg pad with stuffed paper on the inside)

I see now that these boots are going to be hard to match ... they are way darker than my coat that I bought them for .. but they are so comfortable .. that I'll find a coat for them. I really like them. I would recommend this just for the inside padded sole. I am thinking about buy the other color.
