I bought these sandals/flip flops during a lightning deal last year for $20.  I got them in gold, and while I was a little worried that they might look gaudy, I figured this was an acceptable risk for only $20.  I was very pleased when I received them that the gold was true to the color depicted on the site - it was subtle, and not overly shiny or metallic, and definitely not gaudy.

Clark's call these shoes sandals, but make no mistake - they are flip flops, not only due to their appearance, but to the tell-tale sound they make.

While the soles of the shoes are only lightly padded, with a bit of a spongy feel, they are still comfortable.  I did put moleskin on the underside of the thong part and along the raised part of the inner side of the shoe because I felt like it had the potential to chafe the tops and sides of my feet.

The style of these shoes is elevated a bit from the typical Old Navy-style flip flops, and the would look appropriate both on the beach or with shorts or a casual summer dress or skirt.  I know some people are opposed to flip flops anywhere other than the beach, but I'm not one of those people!
