I first ordered these in my usual boot size, 8.5. I'm an 8.5 in Ariats, Justins, and other Noconas. I went with the Cozy Taupe with the hope it would lean more grey than tan. (hard to tell from the pic) The 8.5 was massive, like a men's 8.5? I thought maybe I received a weird pair, so I exchanged for an 8. It was better, but I was still swimming in them. They're so wide in the toe box, I don't know if I would ever find my correct size in these so I don't think I'll reorder a 3rd time.<br />The Cozy Taupe color was different, not a color you see every day on a boot. A little darker than the pic, almost like the color of a latte. Wasn't the grey I was truly hoping for, but still a very unique pretty color. On the second pair I received (the size 8's) the right boot had some screwed-up distressed treatment issues. There was a clear demarcation line (where they were probably intentionally treating the leather to give it character) about halfway up the toe of the boot that looked pretty stupid. Maybe it could have been fixed with some polish or mink oil to get it to blend better, I don't know. The 8.5's had it also but it was less obvious.<br />The leather was quality though and had that delicious leather smell upon opening the box.<br />If you can get the sizing figured out, and don't mind taking a gamble on the weird leather-treatment-situation, I'd recommend these.
