I usually wear a 6 1/2 tops, but they didn't have that size, so I opted for the 7.  Thus they're a tad large, but fit fine with my orthotic insert and socks.  I was a little leery at first about the pinkish tinge, but I actually received lots of compliments, particularly on the color. The leather is wonderfully soft, and they look much more expensive than they are. Caterpillar boots are the only ones that fit me comfortably (I have "problem" feet--widish, with a super high arch and pesky bunions). I wore these on a trip to London and was able to walk all over the city with no issues at all. I wish Caterpillar made more styles.
