A rich, medium light brown, these boots say style, class and money. About the fit: I have a wide foot but the foot fit was generous and comfortable right away. The calf fit was perfect.for my slender/muscular legs. Looks great over skinny jeans but is not too large to look well with a skirt. Compared to my classic style riding boots, these boots with the inside zipper are simple and quick to put on. A classily styled boot, an excellent investment especially for the low price. Timeless style and quality, I know these will continue to be favorites.
