I cannot comment on the fit as my usual size is sold out on the peat color, so I went 1/2 size up. However I can comment on the quality, the leather feels like nubuck material with rough matte texture. Very nice burnish on the toe and back counter. What surprised me was the chain detail on the welting area. You cannot see this detail from amazon photos, so I have include it in my review. Its such a nice touch to add that subtle edgy element. One bootie was scratching my foot really bad at the elastic area, while other side did not. I think its a thread end thats messing with me, I cut it off so hopefully it doesnt scratch my ankle raw. The color is true to the picture when I open the box at night, however in day light I feel like it looks more light brown than olive/taupe tone.
