The Dr. Scholls Sorenson boot, rust met my expectations as soon as I pulled them out of the box. However, because I've only worn them once (around the house) all I can really say about them at this time is they fit as expected and are pretty comfortable and look great. I thought I got a great deal when I purchased them and look forward to wearing them soon (Fall is around the corner). So, I'll check back in in a couple of months to give an updated review.
