The color is a flattering nude, just as you see in the pictures and the suede is soft on your skin. From another review I knew not to cutoff/shorten the straps on my own so I just left them long. Buying locally has been challenge trying to find a pair that actually fit. We of the slender feet hate spending our summers sliding out the front of our sandals. This may be the best headset Ive ever owned. I recommend wearing the belt while you are just watching TV, and try to wear it as often as possible. They fit as expected, I wear a size 5 in womens, and the 2. I?ve slept on a plane with these a few times and you don?t feel any pressure in your ear when you lean against something. I can get them wet like Havianas . Finally, the carrying case is incredibly lightweight, small, and portable.
