A perfect neutral flat.  I ordered a half size larger than normal and find them to be a little tight.  I am hoping they will stretch out over time.  The color is a soft flattering gold, not gold a la MC Hammer pants. I'd love to know how these age.  Does the metallic color stand up over time or become full of lines and wrinkles like an old Hollywood star?  I am thinking of investing a a shoe tree for these as a little preemptive botox.

I hardly wear these anymore. The shoes are too tight and cut my feet every time I wear them.  The metallic finish has definitely taken a hit in the toe area and looks perpetually dirty. The crackly finish makes a solution impossible.  I wish I could return them.
