text: I like these urban hikers a lot, but have a word of warning about the color.  I'd purchased what in the online photo appeared to be a distressed khaki / olive combo, but what arrived was a true brown pair.  It's a nice brown, but I did not want or need another brown pair of boots. I usually wear a US 8 in Skechers, but decided to order 8.5 in these to accommodate heavier socks, but the size was a little too roomy.  Suggest buying your usual size because the sock allowance is provided for already. Since I liked the style, and especially the heal, I exchanged the brown pair for the 'wheat&#34; color in my usual size 8. These are well made, stable shoes with a nice heal, rugged soles, and enough toe wiggle room.  It's an altogether good, well-priced product.  I do have a much pricier pair of navy Timberlands, and a year later am still trying to break them in.  These Skechers are ready to go straight out of the box.
