I am a big fan of Skechers. Have many pairs in all different styles. This is probably my least favorite but still comfy and will keep them. Needing a casual "flip flop" type sandal. I bought  the grey and the olive since I was needing a very khaki color. The grey was very baby blue. The olive  is perfectly khaki. I don't even see a green tinge to it. Perfect. There is no lift with the heel. In the picture it seems there is but it's a flat shoe. Well cushioned as Skechers are known to be. Not a lot of arch support but it's a flipflop after all. One shoe made a weird crunching noise with every step but I just flexed the shoe for a few minutes and it seemed to go away. Weird only one does that and not the other. Over all a good purchase for summer. If I had to say something I wished to change, I would make the straps come further down the foot, only a tiny bit.
