I also have them in black. I got this pewter color hoping it was a metallic gray. It's not exactly gray, and looks a little like a dull gold sometimes. But when I wear it with gray it looks more gray so I'm keeping them. I started with the black and they are so comfortable I got this pewter. If they were in 5 more colors i would buy them all. Straps are soft, adjustable, padded. Flexible soles, so they are not stiff and do not require breaking in. I have foot problems and these shoes are awesome! I wear an 8.5 in a sneaker or closed shoe but found that 8 fit better for this sandal.
