First of all, my experience with SoftWalk shoes has always been positive and these are no exception as far as comfort goes.  I love these boots but I'm not so sure I would love them as much if I had paid the higher price.  I got the black suede at a VERY nice price.  They are great for the money but in my opinion they don't look like boots that should cost over $100.  The suede is rather thin,  They are very lightweight and if the weather was really cold they wouldn't be very warm.  Nice for comfort in a mild climate.
