I just love these shoes! They are, by far, the most comfortable shoes I have ever, ever worn. I like these so much that I immeditately ordered another pair in white that I haven't receieved yet. This taupe is the nubuck and I want a pair that is leather such as the white ones. The only thing is, the white looks like 'off-white' and I wish they were going to be pure white, but the comfort of these is well worth whatever shade of white they are!
