I went back and forth on what size to order but after seeing only 1 remaining in my true size 8, I decided to try them and return if needed for the half size smaller that is recommended with most Fryes! I am happy I was able to get the 8 because they fit absolutely perfect right out of the box! I wear 8 in pretty much all other Fryes and most other shoes brands as well and my foot is pretty normal width that flattens when I walk and these were absolutely true to size for me but if you haven't worn Frye before I do suggest trying different sizing to figure out what works best for your foot because I do have 2 pairs of Fryes in 7.5! Beyond sizing this is a really adorable flat and I find them to be very comfortable to wear all day and I have had no issues with rubbing or blisters at all. They just get softer and softer with wear! The color is not really a grey, more of a distressed brown and black but I wasn't really concerned about the exact color! These are well made comfy flats that I will wear for a long time since the look great with anything! I would definately recommend these!
