I got these in black for my Australian husband. Aussies and flip flops ('thongs' as they still call 'em there) absolutely go hand in hand, they live in them. When I brought him to America 13 years ago he got cranky because he couldn't find a decent pair here so I got him a pair of Crocs classic fli...ps and he's never bought anything else. (I wear them too and they're amazing. Like walking on a pillowy cloud I say). He gets a new pair every year or two but he wears them year round and they hold up very well considering what he puts them through. They have amazing arch support preventing foot fatigue and soreness and help with the lower back. They don't get smelly nor do your feet get sweaty in them. The only thing he didn't like about this latest "model" was how the CROCS logo was snapped in there, he took it out right away. I thought it was fine but then again he's an old-school Aussie from the Outback. They look fine with or without it either way. These flip-flops are perfect, true to size, and good for your feet. You won't regret them.
