I found this while cleaning out a relative's house. The color is dark brown, and it's new and unused. It's a fairly old model, but as of now, there doesn't seem to be any deterioration of the rubber. The condition is good, but since it's an old item, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned. Also, due to the nature of the product, returns for reasons such as the shoes not fitting will not be accepted. I will respond to any questions in the comments. Hawkins Traveler G.T.
