I just recently purchased my boots and i LOVE them!! they are exactly how they appear online and are a terrific steal!! the color in person is a nice dark tan with noticible brown contrast design stiching. the boots are very rustic and comfortable. when ordering the boots for me it was great that the boots were a half size bigger than my actual feet becaue it allowed breathing room , my feet did not feel pinched or uncomfortable. The boots are very narrow at the toe so a 1/2 size of room won hurt one bit , the boots will not slide of ,and stay perfect to the curve of the sole with out feeling too big.
