I love the look of the booties! I was warned in reviews to buy a half size up, so I did: instead of my usual sz 9, I got the 9 1/2. I am SOOO enjoying these. They are as cozy as slippers (I wear them as slippers!). They look terrific w/ jeans or pants. I feel young (but not silly at 71) in these boots. Glad to have the more neutral brown!
