I got them in black (suede) and they're exactly as shown in the photos. I'm always a size 9 with Nine West and again here- a true size 9. I absolutely LOVE these boots. So comfortable. I've had them approx 2 weeks and they've hardly left my feet. The toe and heel area have that just slightly worn/scuffed look which worked well for me as I want them to look worn. I highly recommend!
