Probably smaller on your size - I would measure them at the store, but we don't have this style.  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=paul%20green%20optimist&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CGEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.nordstrom.com%2Fs%2Fpaul-green-optimist-boot%2F3320951&ei=EExjUrWeDKmBiwK39IHYBg&usg=AFQjCNE8STBZXJ2GuHH4-1pG_IrgG6aHmw&sig2=tOIz-reF7tHHMykEnh3pFQ&bvm=bv.54934254,d.cGE">Paul Green 'Optimist' Boot | Nordstrom</a> marianna on "Taupe is the New Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-is-the-new-brown#post-1057114 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 01:24:05 +0000 marianna 1057114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Seriously... good shoes = totally worth it.

JAileen on "Taupe is the New Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-is-the-new-brown#post-1056981 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 23:09:46 +0000 JAileen 1056981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm loving taupe too. When my hair was brown it didn't do anything for me. But now that my hair is silver (ok, white) taupe looks great. JulieJohn on "Taupe is the New Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-is-the-new-brown#post-1056973 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 23:05:21 +0000 JulieJohn 1056973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yeah, I've become a convert to taupe recently as well. I think our taupester Suz had a lot to do with it. I can't see your boots too well in the photo, but I googled. Are they the "Optimist"? If so, yeeaaaaah!!! Gorgeous. I think taupe would bookend my hair pretty well, it's ash-brown, so taupe shoes have become a mandatory item on my list. Just haven't found 'em yet! You're looking lovely! Vicki on "Taupe is the New Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-is-the-new-brown#post-1056966 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 22:58:39 +0000 Vicki 1056966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congrats on the boots and that's some fine kool-aid you're drinking. I think taupe is a beautiful color and I have my eye on a pair of Aquatalias that I love, but seem to look different in two different photos. So, this gives me pause in the purchase, but not in the idea, because I think this neutral would play well with a lot of clothes. See you soon, pretty-in-taupe! P. S. Talk about high-low! That made me laugh. rae on "Taupe is the New Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-is-the-new-brown#post-1056953 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 22:40:53 +0000 rae 1056953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For me, anyway. After doing a good job selling off other boots, I came across these Paul Greens with about 3 million rave reviews. They were expensive, but I did have my discount. I could at least see what the fuss was about. Now That I am in them, I am totally hooked and drinking the kool-aid. Will have to sell some more clothes, but that is ok... because as my body gets pickier, I find I can wear less and less of my closet, anyway. Thankfully my pants were only about 50 cents, and my top was free, or I'd have to turn in my One Dollar Wonders badge.
