The color is the currently popular brown. Recommended for those who like unique and functional shoes. They're not often seen, so I'm selling them to someone who's looking for them. They'll be a great accent to your fashion! I've cleaned the soles as much as possible. There's almost no scuffing, dirt, or deterioration on the soles, but please understand that they have been in someone's possession before you purchase. Returns and exchanges are not accepted. Thank you!
