I couldn't wait to receive these boots and really love the Bass line of shoes. However, I was extremely disappointed with this pair. I opened them up in front of a friend and we were both bummed out at the color. She kept saying,"What are you going to wear those with?" The color looks as if someone left them in the sun too long and they faded. It is not pretty at all! The color is about five shades lighter than the picture and kind of have a pinkish tint to them-it's hard to explain. It's as if I received the defect pair. Also, I ordered the 8.5 and they feel too roomy and don't look quite right on my feet. I'm wary about ordering a smaller size and another color. I'm sad.
