It is the most comfortable shoe I've had for a while, and is also very nice. I got the brown, which is a shiny medium-dark brown color, as on the picture. About the size: I'm usually between 9 and 9.5, and now got the 9, which is definitely on the larger side - it fits me perfectly, but might be a little large for someone who is truly a 9. (I also got the W one, so probably that counts too.)

Update, after 2 years: Well, I have been wearing this shoe for 2 years, almost every day in the fall and spring, and I did love it. Maybe this was time for it, but I am sad that now it developed a hole on the bottom, so I cannot really wear it any more. I hoped that it would last a little longer, that's why I degraded my review to 3 stars instead of the initial 5; if you are willing to buy a shoe for 2 years, I would still strongly recommend it.
