I was looking for a pair of brown flip flops that were also stylish. These are perfect. The gold in the straps adds a more dressed up effect. I even bought my best friend the same pair for her birthday. She loves them. Reefs are the best flip flops. I have had 5 pairs. They last for several seasons and mold to your feet over time. Don't hesitate to purchase Reefs. You will be pleased with them :)
