They look as pictured when they arrived. The first two week breaking in period was rough. They gave me blisters around the toes. They expanded terribly after a month of wear. I had to place them in the sun to shrink. Ever so often I have to place them there. I'm a 9.5 in shoes. You cannot wear these shoes for long without a foot sock. It makes your feet sweat and stink as it is made of rubber. Even with foot socks, my feet stank. It also left bits of sloughed of skin on the the inside of the shoe from me wearing it without foot socks. A good shoe, however I wish that it would have been in a different material.
