They look better in person. These are lovely shoes, well-made, and gloriously comfortable. I posted a picture on my facebook page and someone immediately chimed in that they had a pair in brown and that they were the best shoes ever.
The foot bed is soft, with good arch support. They are quiet to walk on, and I almost feel like I'm wearing a flat.  I think you might be able to order half a size down and be OK.
I'm disappointed that I haven't had the same experience with other Rockport shoes... But I'll keep trying because these are so great.
