These are adorable and just the right hue of green for numerous items in my wardrobe; this color is not solid and has bleached areas; on my pair the lightest spots are on the back and the fabric color on the tops is more uniform than some other reviewers have noted. Size 9 fits as expected; I did have to snug up the laces enough that I can't wear them with the knotted lace ends poking out and also can't tie like regular shoelaces so I'll have to figure that out, lol!
