These look RED in the pics, but they are a little less glaring when you open the box, which is fab coz I didn't want two fire trucks on my feet while walking through the bush/doing gardening etc. They're comfy, a *tiny* bit heavy but that can be overcome with a few extra stretches and leg lift exercises. They are quite comfy, the heel is just the right elevation, enough to give a little lift but still ergonomically safe for walking. I'm giving these a 4/5, because they aren't 100% sublime. The proof is in the wearing. It's raining outside, I'm going to put them on and go for a trudge and see what happens... (blisters, slips, etc)
