I have never personally worn this pair of shoes but I did buy them in this gently used excellent condition. I love Xero shoes and was excited to add these to my collection however in the pictures of the listing I bought them from, these were a much darker blue! I couldn’t return them so decided to just list them myself and pass on to the next person who likes a brighter color blue! I included a pic from the Xero shows website to show that these pic are true to what they really look like.
