text: I loved these boots when I saw them on Amazon. They are fairly comfortable, but the pictures do not match what I received. The boots are depicted as having a black sole and heel. However, when they arrived, I realized that the sole and heel are actually wooden colored (light brown/beige). This makes the sole and heel look like they are on the wrong shoes and also makes them much more casual. I bought these because I thought I could wear them to go out and/or for work, but the color of the base makes me think that they are not going to pass as work appropriate. I may return them, but they ship from China and the shipping costs may not be worth the hassle.  **Update- after about a half hour of wear around the house, the lining inside of the boots got all bunched up and undone. Boots are not well made. Seller offered me a refund on the boots but not the $10 shipping. Buyer beware**
