"I ordered these in green and they are a beautiful color, just as pictured. I tried them on as soon as I got them and after having them on for less than a minute, my foot was totally stained with green dye. I have tried wrapping a shoe form with a wet footie and inserting that into the shoe to absorb the dye, but even the bottom of the shoe bleeds green. Sigh... they really are beautiful shoes, but I'll never get to wear them unless I want to have leprechaun feet."
