These boots are adorable ! And really comfortable! These would have been my signature style boot, but like another pair of brown boots by this same company( I purchased them together) they had to go back! You can't take a step in them without your back foot, the one with your weight on it as you step out with the other, slipping out from under you before you can get your forward foot on the ground. Why would any shoe/boot company design such a beautiful, comfortable boot and then put a sole on it rendering them completely unusable ? I'm so disappointed......
