The shoes look very much like what you see on the photo.  My key issue is that the shoe is beyond uncomfortable.  The 1st time I wore them (a quick trip to newsagent) they felt stiff and hard but I thought they just need a bit of a braking in.  The 2nd time I tried wearing them I gave up after 10min walk - wearing them feels like walking in wooden shoes that badly cut into your feet with an added bonus of having to adjust the strap every 10 steps. What a waste of money!
