These sandals are more than i would normaly spend for thongs, however i know i will be living in these this summer, they go with everything from jeans to cargos to shorts to skirts and dresses even maxi dresses! i got them in Platinum which is more of a bronzy/cool gold they are very pretty but i would not say they are silver or gray.  These run small - i am a true 8 and read the reviews and ordered an 8.5 and they just fit, and my heel comes right to the end of the shoe, but they fit and feel great on my feet, so nice they don't need to be broken in the quality is fantastic and i know i'll get tons of wear out of these.
