So i just sent these back. Sadly, since they're adorable and i really wanted to like them.

Here's the upside - really great shade of taupe, not too brown, not too gray. Color is true. The buckle detail is awesome !! Looks like Hematite - that nice smokey dark gray polished reflective metal. Really pretty. Nice fabric look and feel. They are just adorable overall to look at. But cute isn't always practical :(

Here's the problems i had - they were really narrow and just barely fit with nylons. There was no way i could wear nice thick socks with them. Also, the picture makes it look like there's more of a bottom sole. Trust me - there isn't ANY sole. I swear it's about the thickness of duct tape, and on a size 10 boot, the template matched more of a size 7. So the sole didn't even match the width of the boot, and the suede part rolled over the entire width of my foot, when i was standing up. (Maybe smaller sizes won't be an issue.) So i'm quite certain the first time wearing outside the suede would be all scuffed, wet and dirty, since it was literally touching the ground. I have bedroom slippers with thicker, wider, more chunky outdoor compatible soles on them.

I think they are better suited to smaller sizes so the sole protects the suede overhang, and should be fine if your foot is more narrow than wide so you can wear warm fuzzy socks, not just tights.
