Nobody ever compliments me on my choice of footwear.  Why?  Because I can't stand having me feet uncomfortable.  Comfortable feet means sensible shoes...UNTIL NOW.  I've got these shoes in both the putty (more like a taupe) and the black.  I receive complements whenever I wear them.  And I wear them as often as I can.  They have a great line.  They make me want to strut. And, you know they're comfortable because I wouldn't be wearing them.  These are great shoes.  Enjoy!

Other stuff to consider:  The open toe isn't so open that you can't wear it all year round (unless it's raining or snowing). You could wear boots to work and then switch for the office.  The sizing is good.  I wear an 8 1/2 and they fit true to size. Love the velcro closure.  Makes it easy to put on, off and to adjust.  I like the heel height--not too high, but makes the leg look nice.
