I was looking forward to receiving the dusty rose boots. The color is more tan (I really don't like a tan shoe at all) you can hardly see any rose color even in sun light. Which was really unfortunate, I returned them. I also wish they come in half sizes as I have a high arch so the eight is really too tight. I have to go a full size up. Also wish they had more pastel color options rose, blue, lavender etc. I own other Maria booties and they are very comfortable.
