Purchased in England from a little store in the Cotswolds. I did all the work to get them back to the US in my luggage and sadly have never worn them. No signs of wear. I am a true size 7 and these UK 4's fit me perfectly with a light wool sock. I am firm on my price as they are brand new and never been worn. If I can't recoup some of the cost, I will just keep them. The color is dark and hard to describe. I would say it falls somewhere between a dark olive and chocolatey brown.
