I wear an 8 (sometimes 7.5) and I had to exchange the size 8 I ordered for an 8.5 because the size 8 boots were squeezing my feet too much.  The color "brown" is more of a grey, definitely more grey than brown.  The style is adorable, but overall I think the boot disappointed me in the quality.  The shaft of the boot feels very flimsy thin.  The inside of the boot stained my socks.  Since it's an 8.5 my foot slides around inside the boot.  LOVE the style, but I was disappointed.
