After buying a pair of these wave whisk sandals in white last year (at a local store, at a much higher price), I was so happy to find them at amazon. I love sandals with so many adjustment sites. I feel like I am customizing them - can even loosen them if I've been walking all day in our current 3-digit temps, and my feet swell. They are so comfortable that it's hard to wear anything else. The dark brown color is exactly as pictured. I am tempted to buy another pair in one of the other color choices. Last year's model was great and Clarks did not mess with a good thing.
