These are great boots, very warm and cute. The color is a darker chesnut, but a pretty color. The only downside about these boots is they fit snug around my calves and around my foot too...and I have narrow feet.  I only weigh 124 lbs so it's not like I have big calves. I wear a 7 1/2 and ordered an 8 and they just fit..I either need to wear no socks or thin socks. The quality is decent but I think the quality has dropped on bear paws over the last several years as their popularity grew. The foot bed in this boot isn't nearly as soft as the ones I got a few years ago. However, for the price its a good boot and will keep my feet toasty this winter!
