The "Taupe" came to me in a box marked "Stone Paris". Not the same color as the taupe my daughter bought, more olive. But I liked it so I kept it.
The Brown had extra material at the base of the tongue that made it bunch up and was uncomfortable. I returned this pair.
Both pairs work for narrow feet IF you wear heavy socks. Not so good for summer, as heavy socks are just too hot. Both pairs ran long. I usually wear a 9 (sometimes 9.5) and these fit fine in a 8.5"
