I bought a 9, which was a little tight so you may want to go a half size up.  I ended up eventually stretching the shoe out to fit my foot.  The gold is nice and shiny, the fit is good since there's some elastic for snugness.  I tend to always have a pair or two of gold ballerinas.  These are pretty decent compared to others I've worn, not fantastic but not bad by any means.  On the casual side since they look more like slippers than shoes, but that's to be expected from ballerinas with some elasticity.  Perhaps a little on the pricey side for the quality and look.  The photo of this shoe is very accurate so you should have a good idea of what to expect.
