I got an 8W/8C in the Geo Brown and I like them alot! The brown is a dark brown. The stitching is lighter. So it goes with most brown outfits.
The toe is squared a little. The leather is shiny. Not too stiff, but nice. They are pretty and timeless.
Never had any blisters.
Very comfy for a shoe that I can wear to work and not be embarrassed by (I try to get flats and put inserts in them - I have flat feet and lots of foot pains--so I can't stand most regular shoes --and don't want to wear orthodic shoes to the office.)
