The shoes were advertised as brown but when I received them they were actually museum brown. Quality of the shoes are good and shipping costs would have made it not worth a return so I decide to keep them. Also was not happy with the extra surcharge that ups charges on top of the import taxes. I paid $30 in import taxes and ups charged me an extra $25 as service fee. Should be an option to prepare these taxes to avoid this extra charge. Overall shoes are great. The 312 last is perfect fit for me and the quality of leather and build of the shoe are of good quality.
