These shoes are pretty nice, Not the most comfortable shoe but you can't expect the best for this price however, they are not too terribly uncomfortable either. The color is more like matte gold, it's shiny but not like a mirror finish which is what I was expecting. I'm going to keep these but I ordered some more gold pumps from Aldo, they have the mirror finish that I was looking for. For reference I usually wear a 6, ordered these in a 6 and they fit perfect. On a side note, I wear a 6-1/2 in Aldo's.
