I bought these online from Beall's in the tan/turquoise combo and with coupons/promotions I got them for $27.00! After reading all the reviews I could find, I ordered them in a 7 (I usually wear a 6 1/2 for shoes and a 6 1/2 or 7 for boots). I did not have the problem some reviewers noted with difficulty getting them pulled on and off, maybe since I went to the higher end of my size range. They look nicely weathered or distressed and were comfy from the moment I put them on. I'd say go for it!
