I absolutely love these shoes. They are truly a cool toned concrete color. I was worried at first about it going with anything, but I've worn them with EVERYTHING. They are well made, very comfortable, perfect for rolled skinny jeans or a cute dress... I wear between a 7.5 - 8.0 US for heeled shoes, and the 8 was just right. Not bulky, or heavy, they don't worry the skin around your ankles and the arch is very comfortable even thought the soles are made of a harder material (yes, they "click" when you walk... I don't mind) SOOOO glad I trusted my gut on this shoe and color as I do not have anything else like them :)
