Got it for half the original price. It is a glossy, textured black. the straps are big enough for my cankles lol. My foot width is close to 5 inches because of my bunion, and EU42 is just right. My foot length is 26.5. It is not loose and not tight, it's comfy enough that I can walk without pain. My fat foot doesnt look weird and they don't overflow on the sides (which Im truly surpised of). The shoes kind of have a shortening effect, which makes my feet look smaller than they are. Probably if you are as heavy as me (114kg), you'd feel some pressure around your front sole because all the weight are distributed there. Do take note of that if you guys arent truly skilled in walking in high heels. The grip is also okay, but in marble or tiled floors, you have to be really careful because you will slip. The retention is great on soil. Not recommended for rocky surfaces as you might break your ankle. overall, I'd give it 8.5/10.
