I ordered a half size up because it says it runs small. I was worried the 8.5 would look to big but it actually looked closer to a true 8. I bought the sale tan with matching laces. They are so cute.. wore them 2x so far and so super comfy. I love the vintage appeal and I'd like to get another color..

I got these in beige suede and they look great, go with everything and since they are suede, they don’t show creases.
Red shoes.
