First off, not silver, but more of a bronzey-platinum and actually a lovely versatile neutral shade. They are of course GORGEOUS. Not incredibly metallic or even a real color - they're actually the shade of a lip gloss MAC discontinued that I adored and hope to replicate.

On the downside, they feel narrow on my foot (though I only had them on for a minute and didn't fiddle with the laces), and they have a very long vamp (?) which makes them really look like a guy's dressy shoe. Not that I mind the look, but I'm not used to it on my stubby feet.

I'll post pictures tomorrow for opinions when I'm not in bike shorts. At this price, no matter how stunning they are, they HAVE to be comfortable!
