First, these boots run true to size. I'm normally an 8, I ordered an 8, and they fit like a dream. Second, they are comfortable. Even with the wedge they manage to make my feet happy. I wouldn't recommend them for walking around all day in but for work or school or going out with friends they are perfect. Third, they are crazy cute. They look great with tights and a cute dress or skinny jeans and a cardigan, so you have lots of options.
The color IS a little lighter than the photo shows but I'm still happy with them. I seriously can't believe these are Clarks: maker of clog shoes extraordinaire.
