This is an awesome boot to wear on a nice winter day as far as the color Wheat Nubuck. However if it's nasty outside, the darker colors in this boot is perfect but not for shoveling snow. I ordered a boys size 6. I am a 8.5 or 9 in women shoes. I don't wear thick socks so the length and width is fine. If you wear thick socks you should go up to a boys size 6.5.
