I received a pair of the light gray as a gift. My first thoughts were, I needed a replacement to wear around the pool and these look like they would work. Then I tried them on a few days later. Wow! Extremely comfortable. Light weight and slip proof. Taking a minute to look at the details, it's easy to see why they are so great. Soles are a firm rubber but still flexible with great grip. The soles are beveled around the entire surface and that is a plus for me so I don't trip over my clumsy walk like I do with other flip flops. The arch offers just the right amount of support without making the straps too tight and makes wearing the flip flops for extended periods and walking a breeze. The straps themselves are comfortable but not too loose and are made from what appears to be a high quality canvas that dries very quickly. AND one of the great features is the pair I received was branded with the name of a great local company that I wear with a level of pride so making them customizable to the user. Great gift and great product. Will definitely explore the rest of the line.
