I have a small (low volume) size 8 foot and these shoes fit perfectly. If I want socks that works, but without is fine, even with my narrow heels. The color was true to pic imo, and it is an interesting smoky greenish dark slate with darker toe and bronzy heel, which makes it more versatile than sometimes boring flat black. Very good cushion out of the box, although I haven't worn them out of house yet.
