The blue-grey color is lighter than shown on the product page. It is extremely important that I am in touch, and since I?m either driving, or working with my hands, I need to have that connection hands free. I have to fold them over in the back or tape the back of my ankle to wear them without discomfort. Unfortunately they run small. Sie sind einfach super im Tragekomfort. Yes, I know I can get them resoled at reasonable prices, but who wants to have to do that twice a year? And the prices cease to be reasonable measured against their short life. FYI those are my size 12 sneakers in the picture for reference. again this is fine for me it may not be for you. Had to send back as they run small. But I dont like the way it looks.
