I bought the red and the gray pair. The gray pair are darker than pictured; it's more of a charcoal than a gray. But I like the darker color better anyway, since it will go better with my mostly-black wardrobe.

I'm not used to wearing heels, and these don't have any platform whatsoever so they're a little uncomfortable around the balls of my feet. I inserted a cushion there, and now they are bearable. I have a desk job, so they will be perfect for work. I also have wider feet, and they look and feel fine--better than some of the other round-toe pumps out there. The heel doesn't feel too high, and I like that the heel is a little thicker than what's trending nowadays, so I feel solid when I stand still.

All in all, I am going to keep them. The darker colors are perfect for fall, but the patent makes them year-round shoes.
