I ordered the ash in this shoe and I really like it, it is kind of between a brown and a gray, which seems to change with the color you are wearing.  The shoe is pretty comfortable for a slip-on canvas shoe.  I have a lot of difficulty wearing a shoe without socks, so I bought some little footies and they work fine with the shoe.  My daughter has two pairs and they don't bother her at all.  I actually liked them so well that I bought another pair, but had to order them through Tom's because they were a new color for the season.  This is going to be my shoe for the summer.
I wear a 5 1/2 and they fit perfect.
