These shoes are gorgeous! I bought the chestnut and they are a medium warm brown color with gold cutout accents. I love the detailing of the shoe. The cutouts, the gold line, the stitching on the top and the flowers on the heel, make this shoe adorable. The inside of the shoe is faux fur lined throughout out the shoe. The sole is not flexible but is easy and comfortable to walk in. The shoe is well made and I think they will last for many years. Many people have said to go up a size but I did not. I usually wear a 8.5 and they fit great. For me, if a shoe is only available in whole sizes, then I usually go down in size and take the 8. I love the shoe with jeans and even dress pants. Jambu has become a new favorite brand.
