I'm a picky shoe buyer and these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.  I have a wider foot, size 13, and these fit like a glove.  The first night I wore them I didn't want to take them off when I got home!  The color is perfect, not quite black more of a dark brown - a little darker than the picture.  I had tried on the NoPo boot, which was a tight fit, but the low is the way to go.
