Most comfortable booties I've ever owned, especially in light of the heel height. These boots have excellent styling -- smooth, high-quality leather; toe cap for a bit of interest from the front; and the zipper up the back is a sexy detail. They would easily go from conservative workplace to casual wear. The foot bed is cushioned. If your feet are on the wide side or you have thick ankles, these probably won't work for you, though. I have narrow heels but the balls of my feet are medium and these boots provide the ideal fit for me: my feet don't threaten to pop out with each step but there's plenty of room in the toe bed to flex and wiggle my toes. I wish they made them in dark brown, too!
