Beautiful brown shoes. I bought brown. I am very happy with it. This is a true dark brown. Sometimes brown skin can be more like brown, orange, or even burgundy. It was on point. Judging by other reviews, the heel is a little higher - I think. But I think it looks ok. The buckles are silver. I was afraid the cross dot pattern on this shoe would be too busy. Looked great on the black version. I think the pattern looks great in brown too. The shoes are a little wider at the front, but still fit my medium-wide foot well. And my foot is a little on the narrow side. In my opinion, these are sharp shoes.
