I have several pairs of Miz Mooz shoes and boots and love them all! These boots are well made as usual, are made from quality materials, and are comfortable, however the color in the photo compared to real life is quite different. I was looking for a boot that would closely match my skin tone (I'm very fair), but they are a lot darker than pictured. They are truly taupe, with a lot of grey tones. They fit true to size (I wear an 8, ordered an 8), and are perfect for those with slender calves, but if your ordering the tan color beware. I'll be returning these.
