This is a very comfortable shoe.  It is cool mesh in a silvery gray color not white with a beautiful mint green and silver accents.  Fits true to size and very comfortable to me.  This is my 2nd pair of Brooks and I have bought a pair for my husband who has flat feet and he loves his dark gray and black pair also.  Seem to wear well.  I have also washed my other pair in the washer and it does well.  They take foot orthotics easily since they have a removable foot pad.
