Really like the shoes. Have 2 pairs now. I use shoe cream to change the tone slightly to match my clothes better. They are a medium denim shade with greyed tones (Midnight colour purchased.). Am using navy shoe cream to darken to match navy outfits. Heels are high and can get painful after 4 hours on ones feet on hard floors. My current classroom does not have carpet but does not have concrete under the lino so I can't tell you how these shoes would work in a carpeted office. Concrete under linoleum like my last class is harder on the feet and while wearing most shoes. I usually bring a change of shoes.I wear a size 6.5M/B and these fit like they are supposed to. Ankle strap can be adjusted as it has a buckle closure which stays secure unlike other shoes that have velcro closures.Midnight is grey. Dark grey. If I knew that, I forgot that. WIsh they were black. Anyway, they are fun, and alhtough they are too big, am pretty sure smaller size would be out of the question; so I will go to shoe repair fellow who is very smart and if there are any pads that would help, I'll be wearing them. Yes, top comes up higher in back than feels good, but maybe with inside pad (s?) I won't care. I could not resist how cute these looked, almost witchy, in the photo. Have fun!I'm disappointed as can be. I've been swooning over these heels since I saw them almost a year ago and finally took the plunge based on the reviews and bought them. I purchased the "Midnight" shade, which on EVERY sight appears to be a nice blueish- gray color. I opened the box and there is zero blue in these- but 100% gray. Not. even. a. hint. of. blue. These were a bit large on me, but the heels were nice overall, but will be going back. :(Love them!! Got them 1/2 a size bigger though,,, very comfortableI love everything about these shoes!I love a chunky, Bold shoe and this is really beautiful with jeans or a long skirt
