I had pair of these great boots in black for two years and was thrilled to find I could order new pair. They're my favorite - comfortable and still have the 3" heel that I love. I also bought in charcoal and now in Cognac. The brown was not as dark as I was expecting but they're gorgeous and look great w/ jeans. Yes, order half size up. Quality is great and I've never slipped in them which I appreciate! Nice and sturdy but stylish.
Purchased my shoes online in the color chocolate. Absolutely, love the color! As far as the size, I wear size 10 and they fit me perfectly. I suggest, if you have a slightly wider foot you go up half a size or purchase a wide. This ankle bootie is truly comfortable and truly worth purchasing.
