"I got these to replace a similar blowfish bootie without a heel that I had worn through the soles of! I am usually between a 6 or a 7 in shoes, and the 7's fit perfectly, so order on the upper edge of your size range. I've walked around a bunch in these already and they are very comfortable! I have also stepped in a few small puddles without getting wet feet. I ordered the dark brown color, and it is a very rich, deep brown, with a slight amount of shine."
