Was surprised at just how sparkly the gold is. Perfect for Sparkle Fridays (as well as any other day that just needs some shimmer)!The trainers are more cream than white, makes the appearance softer and warmer. I've worn them quite a few times now and had lovely comments. Sizing seems just right for my slightly smaller size 5 feet, and I didn't need my half insole. I'd buy them again if there were more glittery colours (love a bit of sparkle)
