The shoes fit larger than this size normally does, I would have just exchanged for a lower size. But the color of the shoe isn't at all what I expected. I ordered the Beeswax color and I'm almost positive I received a mislabeled Dark Brown. And if this isn't Dark Brown I don't know what would be as the toe area of the shoe looks close to black. That brings up something else I didn't expect...the sides of these boots are lighter colored than the toe portion which looks like an odd 2 tone I wasn't expecting. In my opinion I just don't like the look at all, I expected a much different brown color.
