I have the red ones, and they are the perfect color. I wore these every day for a two week holiday in hawaii, for every use- casual and going for dinner. I have now worn them most of the summer, tons of running around, and they are perfect. For everyone who complained that they are not the old school wooden ones, why write a bad review if you don't read the description properly? If they were wood, with the extra height on this heel one would never be able to walk they'd be so heavy.
