I've been trying to "dress up" a little more these days. Bought these in the brown and eggplant color. Both colors are true to what is in the photos. The cut/style looks the same as in the photos as well. I usually wear a 9 in flats and 9.5 in heels, so I got these in 9.5. (They seem to be a TINY bit long and a tiny bit too narrow... but I am going to just deal with it because I am pretty sure the 9 would be too small.) Go for them, they are well worth the price - when they are on sale!
