These boots are in the middle pictured next to my camel leather boots and dark brown suede boots.<br />I went ahead and got my exact size (7.5) since a half-size up was out of stock, and it fits just fine. The problem? The color was NOTHING like the picture. I ordered the brown, which as you can see is the color of milk chocolate-- a nice rich, medium shade of brown. Maybe a hint of red. Just a shade or so darker than the boots on the left. What I GOT was more like dark chocolate-- as in, almost black. I briefly wondered if my mom had ordered the wrong color, but the color I received isn't shown in any of these pictures. It most closely resembles the &#34;Brown PU&#34; shade from this model: http://www.amazon.com/West-Blvd-Phoenix-Slouch-Slouchy/dp/B00NR7VQRO/ref=pd_sim_309_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=0288V3ZCR0TBYF8X3KJK. In fact, the box says that the shoe is &#34;Brown PU&#34; when we ordered simply &#34;Brown&#34;. The exact same color on the other model is called Tan PU, but since the tan on this model actually looks tan, I'm not sure ordering the tan would solve my problem either. It looks like they simply only have this darker color of brown and posted the wrong picture for it... which is an issue, because I got these boots to match another item of mine.<br /><br />Other notes: The transition between the heel and the ankle is incredibly awkward. It feels like there is a shoe inside the boot, and the &#34;leg&#34; portion of the boot is merely a loose leather sock coming up from it. Because of the structureless &#34;sock&#34; feeling, the leg portion easily slips down and wrinkles at the ankle. Yes, all boots have more structure in the feet-- but the difference in these boots is much more obvious. They probably need some thick socks/boot cuffs to hold them up.<br />Obviously, unless you haven't read other reviews, it's not actually thigh-high. The top of the &#34;flap&#34; portion just barely passes over the knee... still, they're taller than most boots and look great with the flap turned down. Unfortunately the flap covers the first &#34;belt&#34; decoration, but you can see the second one.<br />Finally, I was really hoping for a thin foot on the boot, since the &#34;squashed beanbag&#34; look from my hiking boots was what caused me to purchase these. I hate it when my feet look wide from the top. These are a huge improvement, but still a little squashed on the inner curve of my foot. Maybe I got have really thin feet... if you have wide feet, this will probably be perfect if not a little snug. But for me, I was hoping for a little more structure.th the flap turned down.
