I typically wear flats because I find heels incredibly uncomfortable, however flats can get a little boring.  These sandals give a stylish height while still being very wearable.  They're well made with nice soft leather; the taupe is a great Spring color. The details such as the riveting and decorative heel design give them a high end look. These sandals look cute with skinnys as well as cargo pants.  I did size down to a 6 (normally a 6.5-7) as they run big and I have narrow heels.  The velcro strap makes it possible to adjust them snugly.  They are just a tad tight across my toes but I think they'll give a bit with wear.
