This was love at first sight and totally lived up to my expectations.  The actual color of the Tuscan is a little darker than the picture here.  I ordered my usual size 8, and while slightly bigger, I don't think they were a full half-size bigger.  I could fit medium-weight socks in them, but not thick socks. My feet are on the narrow side and these were a good fit.  I've worn them several times for anywhere from 6-10 hours a time and no noticeable stretching out, and pretty comfortable. They hold their shape well- no slouch factor.  There doesn't seem to be a lot of give, but I didn't have any painful spots where they rubbed. They look great with gray- I wore them with light gray jeans and a bulky charcoal gray sweater, and got several compliments that day.
