I liked these boots so much in the taupe that I ordered them in black.  I find them comfortable to walk in - very steady, nice rubber heel tips - I feel very grounded and solid in them.

One review I read talked about these boots rubbing.  I have had a bit of an issue with one of my toes - break them in slowly and they'll be fine.  I walk a lot for my job and have had no other issues.

These boots are much cheaper on Amazon than other places...I paid almost $150 for the first pair - oops, then found them on Amazon for much less.
