these shoes are gorgeous. the colour is more taupe or stone than grey, brownish grey, not bluish grey. love the colour. the quality is superb. they are comfortable & incredibly well made. i have a slightly high instep & my ankles are on the thicker side and they fit perfectly. the previous reviews where people said they were loose around the ankles encouraged me to buy them.  fit like a glove! they are so well made i can tell they will hold up to wear. they are dressier than they appear in the photo.  they will go well with dressier outfits & more casual ones. i can't express how much in love with these shoes i am! this is my first pour la victoire purchase - definitely not my last! so impressed!
