They are true to color & fit great. Im a 6.5 & read some other reviews by people who  got them a half size smaller due to how roomy they are. I was a bit worried that I made the wrong choice but I went ahead & ordered them in a 6 instead of a 7 & they fit perfectly. very roomy, no pinching even with thick socks.  I love the ribbon laces for days when I want to be extra bold , but they due tend to come untied easier than the regular laces that come with them.  Either way , LOVE THEM! LOVE THEM! LOVE THEM!!!
