Fabulous looking shoe - terrible quality.  Within moments of wearing these, scuffs began to appear on the heal, the sides, the top.  The leather marks so easily that they already looked worn out the first day after wearing.  To make matters worse, the rubber sole began to unglue at the tip and proceeded to continue pulling back a good 2" by the end of the day - dangerous!  I bought them in black and haven't worn them yet but speaking specifically to the taupe leather, don't waste good money.  They are ruined after 1 use no matter how careful you are.
