I purchased the Fawn in an 8.5 (half a size larger than my true size). The leather is beautiful and thick, but also soft and comfortable. It does suff and mark easily, but cleans up nicely with a bit of polish. The colour was more greeny than I expected, but they are comfortable and look good on with black and brown. I do think these run large, so they would fit fine in your true size, but insoles work a treat if you choose to go up 1/2 a size. Lovely quality - definately wouldn't buy another brand now I've had Frye!
