I love these.  The gold isn't too gaudy, nice and subtle.  Seem well constructed so far.  Pretty comfortable but not necessarily for a long day of walking around.  I can wear these with a dress or jeans.  I have bunions and these covered them up well and didn't hurt.  I'd love to order other colors but the price is pretty high, so will just wear the gold with everything!  I wear a size 8 in US and the 39 was roomy - might be too wide/roomy if you have very narrow feet, which I don't.
