I bought these shoes in the 'bottom', judging from the photo of the product I thought they were dark brown. They came, and I would call this color more greyish-olive. These tongueless running shoes are a bit tight and difficult to put on, but I expected that. They feel great, true to size (albeit a little tight). I wear a size 10 on everything else from Nike to Vans. There is an odd bulge under the top row of laces that will hopefully go away once you wear them.
