Thank you! I'm happy to report I'm even more thrilled with them after wearing them. The boots survived not only a workday, but were amazingly comfortable in Amsterdam yesterday, when I walked all across the canals, because I thought De Vijzelstraat was just one block away from Het Spui/De Negen Straatjes; I totally forgot about the Leidsestraat being in between, pfff. *smacks head*)
