This is my fifth or sixth pair of Reef Brazil sandals. I intended to buy a pair of Slaps because I've had two others that I liked, but they were not available. So I opted for the Modern, which I think is an updated version of the Slaps. They have the same cushioned footbed while the outer sole is tough for longer wear. The strap is not so high over the footbed, so they fit better--they don't flop around so much when a foot is in the air. Caution: For me they took a break-in period. I wore them for an hour or so for about three days, and they were fine thereafter after the strap materials softened a bit. They look good, too.
