I have read reviews of this brand Gentle Souls & they all seem pretty positive.  Found a pair I liked & ordered it.  They are comfortable, but not "heavenly" as they've been described other places.  I didn't know that they are part of the Kenneth Cole brand until the box showed up at my home.  Maybe that is why the people who compliment the comfort feel that they are wonderful.  I definitely do not think that Kenneth Cole is a brand known for comfort.

These boots are made of nice, soft leather and they fit well.  I don't think they would be comfortable for my usual long walks around Chicago.  For that, I would require a shoe or boot with more arch support.  These boots are also not insulated at all, so they would not be warm boots.  They are definitely "fashion" boots instead.  I guess I will wear them to work, somewhere where I will sit & be indoors for most of the day.
