This boot has a sexy wedge. The dark natural leather colour, can be best described as a walnut or an oak colour; very elegant and will match any colour in your wardrobe. Looks sharp with black or chocolate brow. The short shaft of the boot is a little wide but it is perfect for all those skinny jeans and not so skinny jeans/pants you want to tuck into your boots. Not recommended to wear with a skirt but whatever floats your boat. This brand, Nine West, is made a bit big. I got a 9.5 but would for sure be good with a 9, even with a thicker sock.
