Don't be fooled by the gold label. They look like the picture - more silvery with a gold undertone than real gold. That suits me fine, I wanted silver. Fairly true to size. I have very wide feet and buy a larger shoe size to accommodate which worked fine with these. I did have to strategically place some moleskin inside where the widest part of my foot rubbed but that solved all pain. What hurt more was going to a store 2 weeks after purchasing these at full price to find the same shoe under a different name for 1/3 of the price. Even so, I am happy with my purchase, they are great shoes (and the other place didn't have my size anyway).
