Okay, so I didn't know why these were called Spring Step.  Never tried the brand before.  But wow, they really do have a springy feel to them.  VERY comfortable, and remind me of my favorite shoe brand ever, Born.  But Born's colors are often sort of tame, and Spring Step has some neat patterns and more variety in colors.  This is a lovely olive that varies between the leather and the elastic on the upper.  The contrast overstitching is nice too. Very secure heel.  Price wise, these are a bit cheaper than BORN, at least when I bought these on sale.

One thing though, is that the color has changed a bit since I bought them (say 2 months?).  What was once a solid olive has more areas of discoloration, sort of more brown at the seams.  It doesn't bug me, I think it actually looks more like real leather that way (it is all leather on the uppers, but cheap leather often looks like vinyl anyway).  So I'm not sure if it's from wearing them alot outdoors, or just the aging of the leather, but there is more depth to the olive green color.  Worn-in sort of aging.  I like it, but you may want to consider that.  It might be different (and annoying) on brighter colors.

By the way, I've rec'd numerous compliments on these too!  The pattern is really distinctive and not as blah as my beloved BORNS.

Edited 10/31/12 to add that not only has this green turned color even more (tending towards yellow algae), the black pair I purchased of the same style is turning blue.  Something about the dyed leather I think.  I still like them, but....after just three months on the black pair, I'm a bit disappointed.  I've had leather fade before but not change color.
