Runs a bit tight/small, had to get a size larger. Looks almost dark brown in the pics but it's definitely black and the orange is pretty bright but not much of it is visible, wish it was just a gum color. Overall, awesome shoe, was looking for a badass black leather simple skate shoe and this delivered, no wild colors or crazy designs (other than the bright orange poking out a bit and the neon green stitching on the side which can barely be seen unless you are inspecting it). Good looking solid shoe and had a good experience dealing with shoebacca.
