I ordered this because I really like black and gold together. It looks stylish when worn with my black Adidas tracksuit. Secondly, I have fractured my left foot, and for the pool area, I pack the sliders, which are very comfortable and practical. I am a size 6 UK (39 EUR). I had to return them for size 7 UK because they came up small. I suggest going up a size, as I don't like my knees to be hanging over the sliders — it doesn't look good. I recommend this slider, but size up.
