The color is not as vibrant as shown on the website. It is a very dull washed out, faded magenta color. I am a true size 9 in USA shoes and they do fit true to size. You definitely need extra gel insoles for arch support because there isn't any. Without extra arch insoles (support) you would feel every thing on the ground and your arch will hurt. I'll probably (highly) send them back but will take a picture before and upload it soon.
