I purchased this shoe in the light taupe color.  The color on my computer makes it look a little rose color.  The shoe arrived today and it doesn't look like the picture at all.  They look more on the light gray side.  As far as size, since amazon "fit my foot" I purchased my normal size.  The shoe is comfortable but a bit loose on my normal width foot.  I would try a smaller size but they are out!  The package is SUPERB.
