These boots are very comfy and super cute.  And yes, they are about a size too big, but all over, so buying a size down would work.  They are a darker taupe than depicted in my browser. They looked more cream coloured with taupe accents.  Sadly I am not a taupe person and have to return them.  Boo.  Such a great price.  Oh, and the inside is lined with this very pretty and warm silky fur in a taupe/olive color.
