I bought the light orewood color. This color and the style make the sneakers very stylish. I love that the logo is not in contrast color. I also love that they look great with my midi skirts too. I bought a half size smaller as suggested but they were too small (short). I had to exchange them for my usual Nike size 8 (I’m a size 7.5 for other brands). For me, size 8 is roomy in terms of inner height only, not the length nor the width. Therefore, size down didn’t work for me.
