I could have saved money by buying just these boots and not a lot of others in my closet. They are lovely and versatile, narrow enough to wear with skirts and neat looking under trousers.

The dark brown is darker than it looks in the photo--dark and neutral enough to wear with grey or black.

I normally wear size 8, a 38 in Dansko clogs, bought the 39 in these (thanks to other reviewers). They are not too long and are snug in the width but getting better with wear.  Bigger might have worked, smaller would not have.

All heels make the balls of my feet hurt; these do too but less than others.
