Purchased the metallic as a second pair for long walking outings, running around town and when walking on concrete floors in a work environment.  My first purchase was the black.  The metallic was a great surprise.  The leather green undertone in combination with the black instep elastic is stunning.  And makes it a bit dressier than the black. Great airport shoe, too.  For this particular Aravon, I replace the insole with a Powerstep full-length insert (from Amazon) for more support. I find this style to be a bit less supportive for my particular arch. Glad to get a second pair of this shoe as it seems to be the last few available of this not so common slip-on with a bit of a heel style in Aravon.
