My first gripe: I went with the gunmetal gray. It's not gray, it's brown. Second, the "yoga mat" footbed has a gooey, gummy feel to it that I do not like. It's practically sticky. I want my flip-flops soft & springy, not gelatinous. These seem to be made of hardened gummy bears, recycled into footwear. I really wanted to like these. It's hard on my self esteem to disagree with so many glowing reviews, but I'll be returning to my old-school, dry foam flip-flops: LL Bean Maine Isles.
