These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. The soles and heels are rubber so they really absorb the shock when you walk. You can wear them all day. The heel is high enough that I can wear them with dressy clothes but they also look great with jeans tucked in. The design on the side gives them a feminine and very classy look. They are a great value being all leather but are a great price. I have gotten many compliments on these. I love them so much I ordered another pair in brown. I'm putting all my other boots in the basement.
