text: I ordered the black and they look fantastic! The black on black sparkle is more subtle and looks great with dressy or casual.  The footbed is well cushioned for a gladiator & quite comfortable, & though I am breaking them in, the heel rubs a bit by the zipper. Wearing them unzipped a bit with a bandaid takes care of the issue completely. I get compliments every time I wear them, so they're a complete show stopped!
