Unlike my other experiences buying metallic colored shoes (gold have been a disappointment), they shoes are beautiful. It is a deep dark sliver...you know when your silver cutlery or jewelery starts to oxidize and darkens in appearance..like that

They fir true to size. I had to add extra holes in the strap but that is minor. perfect height and grips (I am a big fan of these since falling and busting my bum is not cool)
