These are beautiful, durable, and generally well-designed boots. However, I like them less than previous years' styles because the tongue on this one is not partially attached at the sides anymore. The semi-attached feature was perfect for keeping out wind, water, snow, etc.

One important thing about the Amazon photo (accurate as of this posting): the picture for the Olive option actually shows the Taupe color, and vice-versa. You'll get Olive when you order Olive, though.
