In this flip flop world, sometimes a bit of style is a good thing.  The J-41s are a nice compromise between an athletic sandal and a foot killing heel.  They have a bit of bling built into the straps, but it's not too much--just an occasional eye-catching sparkle.  They're extremely comfortable.  My only complaint is that the 8 is a tiny bit too big for my 7.5-8 foot, but I think the 7.5 would be too short.  The olive color is a light neutral color that looks great with summer oranges, yellows, khakis and tans, and the style is perfect for pants, dresses and skirts.  I'm very pleased!
