These are beautiful, well-made boots. I got them for a great price! I ordered a size 8, instead of my usual 7.5 and they fit well with boot socks. However, I have decided to return them because they look very similar to a pair of boots I already have. I thought the color would be more grey. It's pretty dark--like a very dark brown or black. The rubber sole would likely make them comfortable to wear for long periods of time, but I cannot confirm that.
