I'd been looking for a low-heeled bootie for a while and settled on this one.  I'm very pleased with them! The construction and materials are nice; the taupe color is a great neutral alternative to the ever-present black or brown; and they're very comfortable.  I wear either an 8 or 8 1/2, depending on how the shoe is made or the manufacturer.  This wasn't available in the 8 1/2 so I went with the 8, thinking they may be small since I'll most likely always wear these with socks but they're fine. They look great with my skinnies, bootcuts & with skirts & tights. Very cute!
