I'm disappointed in the color of these (oxblood). I thought the burgundy would have more purple in it like in the pictures. Despite being disappointed in the color they do look very nice. I bought them for someone halfway around the world right before my trip to see him and had I ordered them sooner I would have returned them for black or a different shade of brown which were a lot cheaper in cost. I was justifying the cost of these shoes because of the unique and beautiful color the photos portrayed, but unfortunately the color in person didn't meet my expectations and there was no time to return them. The recipient does love the shoes. He lives in a place where wide and extra wide shoes are not a thing so he is very impressed with the comfort of the shoes. If you look at these shoes on other websites you can get a more accurate look of the color these shoes really are. They are definitely a shade of brown and red, but with no purple. I'm not sure why the Amazon pictures show a hint of purple.
