These boots are amazing in the dark brown!  I found them to be true to size.  I normally order an 8 if I'm only planning to wear thin socks in a boot, and that worked fine with these.  My feet are on the narrow-side and I felt I still had some room in the foot box, but not enough that I needed to wear thicker socks.  I was able to slip them on fairly easily, got hung up a little bit on one of the heels (which are fairly stiff)  My calves are also narrow and I didn't really seem to have a gap at the top wearing with bare legs.  I'm expecting that may change if I wear them over jeans.  As it's off-season I haven't gotten a chance to see how they break in, but they didn't seem too uncomfortable right out of the box.  They came really quickly through the shoes.com vendor through Amazon and were in perfect condition.
