The shoe shown is natural. The shoe delivered is brown - what they call rust.I have worn these shoes for years - always have both natural and black on hand. This year, the herbs finally disintegrated. They were my second set in many, many years. Now I have found the natural (at Vermont Country Store) but they are no longer made by Softspots. Still called Trinidad. So, now I have 3 pairs. I am happy.Anyway, I think I have a centipede gene. I love shoes. When I find a style that works, I stick with it. These shoes are highly versatile. Comfortable with or without stockings. No real arch support, but that is not an issue for me. I reach for them first during the warmer weather. I cannot vouch for wet weather wear as I am particular about taking care of shoes. I hope these make it five or more years like the others, and I wore them a lot. I love this shoe.
