These live up to what I researched about them, and they're said to be good for people with arthritis, and while I'm not as young as when I ran marathons or such, and sad to say out of shape right now in my mid-40's, these live up to what I've read. The color online, at least from my laptop is pretty spot-on, a more white-light grey, as shown, which I liked, bc I struggled with getting these or the light blue ones, bc I wondered if the grey would end up showing up as darker or for me, "more dingy"-looking than the brighter colors online. They fit as expected for me; I have a high arch, fairly narrow feet (but normal-sized, nothing out of the ordinary), and arch-support and overall cushioning for my now getting more arthritic knees and lower back pain is what it says it will be. The colors are cute, although online on Zappos these are shown as Men's shoes, so I don't exactly know what that's about, so I took a chance buying them on Amazon. Normally I'd buy from a direct company or a Zappos type of overall shoe type of store, so I am pleasantly surprised I got exactly what they are supposed to be. I'd say, unless you have irregular-sized feet, the sizing for your usual running or walking shoe is pretty spot on (for example, I'm an 8.5 in running shoes/athletic shoes, but more of an 8 in sandals, etc), and they feel good with or without socks too. I tried to see if my extra arch supports helped, but they made the shoes feel too tight, which they could easily be lace-loosened, but honestly, I don't feel I need any extra support with these. Other people's reviews I read in favor of the cushioning, etc so far lives up to what I feel and what I received when I had the product delivered. It's still early days, so I can't comment on the longevity of the shoe, and if you want a harder kind of sole, you won't like these. If you really want that nice, little roll when you walk (not like the Sketchers shoes though), and a little extra height, which as just barely a 5'5 average-height woman is always something I enjoy, these will help with that too, as the extra inch or two helps up the cushioning, but doesn't take away from the fit nor the support. I'd recommend.
