Ok...I was a little concerned about ordering these because I loved the different look but didn't want something that looked too much like a cowboy boot. I figured if I ordered them in gray it would downplay the country look about them...well, as with all of the other reviews on the gray color(which I of course didn't read before I bought them), they are definitely not gray. Not even close. They are definitely taupe, and on the brown end of that spectrum. However, when I tried them on I absolutely fell in love. They are ridiculously comfortable and so so cute. They are a little tight on my calf when I put them on over skinny jeans but nothing that I can't handle. They are a tiny bit too roomy around the ankle, but, they are of course a slip on so they kind of have to be. Very very happy with them and I plan to get them in black if they get them back in my size :)
