| I need somebody who is not colorblind...
...to tell me whether they think these shoes are close enough to our orange. I've worn out my Chucks and I'm thinking about going with orange this time. Thanks!  |

| they look a little darker... i guess too much red according to the pic. FWIW, i sat next to a guy for years that wore low top chucks that were orange. Always thought his were too dark as well. just my thoughts. | |

I don't really care if they're exactly PMS 151; I just don't want them to show up and look like Texas shoes. | |

| As was said above, wash 'em in a little bleach and you're there. They don't call it Clorox Orange for nothing... | |

| i was thinking closer to syracuse orange moreso than Florida. No one ever mistook the guy I sat beside to be wearing them for UF though.... FV might be right, get 'em wet and a few days in the sun might do the trick... but you'd have to be into that faded look. My dad is 55 years old and still wears low top chucks. the off white ones and bright candy apple red ones. | |

| Sounds like a little bleach and/or sun and I might be able to get them spot-on. I'd rather them be a little faded out anyway. Thanks! | |
