I was really excited about these shoes. I expected that I would buy a couple of different designs over the next coupled of weeks. But when they arrived a moment ago it became clear that they are brown. They are not black. I'm wearing black socks and  grey pants so it was super obvious. I thought about running out to buy brown pants with them but the shoes were $69.99. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am! I've been so excited and happy that the shoes were coming today. I even bought Scotch Guard for them. I have requested a return and Amazon, as always, has obliged. I guess I need to return the scotch guard too. I am too sad now to buy a different style and I have no idea what the color will look like. I rely heavily on reviews and I didn't read any reviews mentioning the color? You guys let me down, man.
