The first thing it's passing in my mind it's to say you: "Don't care about the photo and neither about what I'm going to write: just buy it",
Why? Because they very well done: the platform pump and the heel that seems high but it's not such high let you walk in a very comfortable way and it's close with that wonderful band made in a way that gives to the shoes something very precious.
Brown? Yes, because there are so many colors that can be choose with this dark brown: pink, light blue, red, .... I mean everything you want just not another kind of brown.
Last thing: you can wear it in every season. Of course in summer you'd prefer a pair of sandals, but it could also happen to need a very chic shoes for a very important dinner ...
What can I say about this shoes: it's perfect.
