I bought these in the curry color... which is almost exact to the "tan" color of my Julia stitch boots. Not really very yellow at all which is exactly what i was looking for. I am a size 8 in every single shoe I own except flats where I seem to always have to go a half size down. So, I bought these in a 7-1/2 and they are almost perfect. I don't like to wear socks with my flats (I wear sheer stockings instead) and these are slightly loose... I could actually use to go down another half size. If I put in a heel spacer these should be quite snug. I would suggest going down a whole size from what you wear in "regular" shoes. Other than that they are absolutely adorable.
