I had to have these shoes! I was surprised because in the picture it looks black and white. When they arrived, the white is definitely more gray. Unless the screen on my laptop is horrible, the picture looks white to me. It didn't bother me any, I love them! I'm a size 8 and I feel like these might be a little snug, but I didn't want to exchange them for an 8.5 because I don't want to risk them being too big. Maybe after a couple wears they might stretch a bit.  I own other Jessica Simpson pumps in a size 8 that fit perfectly. Seriously high heel, definitely uncomfortable, but who cares? 5'-6' heels were never meant to be for comfort anyway :) They are beautiful.
