Here we come to a pair of shoes-cum-hiking boots worthy of praise. They're light almost as a feather, the stitching is top quality, ditto the soft nubuck leather construction, and the comfort factor is considerable. Haven't broken them in yet, but the fit seems perfect- no qualms about 'true to size' with these. They figure to go with just about everything this outdoorsy-type woman ever wears- jeans, natch, cropped pants, yes indeed, and wouldn't look too curious with ankle length or longer skirts. The construction of the sole makes them suitable for moderately wet conditions,
and while they would not be the right shoes for serious mountain hiking or walking the Route St. Jacques de Compostela, they fit the bill for most daily activities and are smart-looking to boot. A genuine five-star purchase, and at a great Amazon price too. Love the bright russety-gold color.
