Arrived quickly and very well packed. I love these shoes in the taupe.  This color is more like a dark Army kaki color, which is fine with me as it goes with most of the brown tone, ivory, and grey colored clothes I already have.  Ordered a size 10 and removed the Dansko inserts.  Replaced them with a full shoe flat insert and my customs (half shoe).  Very comfortable--I'll get a lot of use out of these.
