I just received these boots in the mail yesterday & I wasn't impressed at first, but when I tried them on I fell in love with them! I love the laces, they give the shoe a playful look. They are light weight & have enough room for a pair of medium sized socks so you can add later on cold winter days. Great color (taupe) they will go with ANYTHING. Thank you Dolce Vita for your great designs & thank you AMAZON for the 20% sale I was able to use on these.
