These boots are true to size and were a perfect travel companion. Comfortable for long walking days, warm and also waterproof on a rainy night strolling the streets of Lisbon. The only thing that was not absolutely perfect is that the calf is a little too wide but the leather was so soft and pliable that I was able to "fold" them a bit and get them into my stretch skinny jeans. They do not look or feel clunky. The color is just like the picture.
