The light tan color seems a little more greyish than the photo but look good with yellow toe nail polish =) They are the most comfortable flip flops I've ever had on and so much more substantial than my others.  I just took them for a spin around the block with my dog and they couldn't be more cushy and shock absorbing.  They are very sturdy and stay firmly on my feet (I do not have high arches).  I needed something I could walk in to the river, in the rain, or to walk the dogs.
