I really love these shoes. Gray does not convey the picture. i love color It's not a light grey, it's a rich, beautiful grey. Note that these shoes will become narrow in width until you've worn them for a day or two. After that they are surprisingly comfortable. I will buy myself the exact same shoes in black very soon. Also, as others have recommended, order a half size smaller than what you normally wear. I was skeptical at first but with an easy return I decided to follow the review's advice. This is perfect in length just keep in mind they are initially tight but break in quickly and easily and this is my favorite pair of dress shoes. I wear them all day, at least twice a week.
