text: The color in the photo of the &#34;taupe&#34; boots is laughably off - or at least I would be laughing if I didn't have to waste a lot of time now packing up and returning a pair of boots that I never would have ordered in the first place had they been accurately portrayed on Amazon.  They are straight-up GREY - there is no brown hue to them AT ALL. They are super-cute grey boots (and I would probably love them if they were the color advertised), but they are definitely GREY BOOTS - do not be misled by the pic. See my pic showing the true color below.
