Just got these booties in taupe and I can't wait to wear them. I bought them for a specific outfit, but I know that I'll be able to pair them with lots of looks. I usually have to order a 6.5 (down from a 7) in MIA shoes, so I recommend sizing down at least half a size. The booties are sturdy and the soles aren't smooth, so there's no slippage. I took away one star b/c the image color and the actual color are just a hair different. Not enough to be a flaw, but just a little different. Other than that, they are the perfect shoes.
