I made the jump and ordered these without first trying them on and they fit just as expected.  I'm a size 7 and they run a teeny bit narrow, but it wasn't a problem.  The color and laces are exactly as pictured and they come with an extra pair of white laces.  They are comfortable and lightweight.  My only problem is that they don't come up as far on the top of my foot as I expected so even the shortest footie socks show under them.  I switched to socks meant for ballet flats and it works fine, it's just more effort than I wanted.
