Exactly as photographed!! The color is beautiful, the bow is very cute (some people have said they had issues with the bow, but I guess my foot is narrow enough that I can just move the straps and slide my foot in. I haven't even had to touch the bow beyond fawning over it lol), and most of all they are very comfy. I am a "true" 9, and got a 9.5 as recommended by other reviews... It is barely too long, but short enough still that I could tell that a 9 probably would've been just a hair too short. Fortunately I live in a collimate where I can already wear them out, and I have no doubt they'll be my favorite show off the spring and summer. I'm very happy with this purchase!!
