I just bought a pair of the dark brown shoes and they are fantastic! I couldn't be happier with them. First of all, they are very cute shoes- I get lots of compliments on them but, more importantly, they are truly comfortable. I usually get a blister the first few times I wear any new shoe, even with a flip flop/thong type of shoe. I did NOT with these shoes. The part across the top of the foot was very comfortable as was the part between the toe. I didn't even get a red, rubbed spot. The previous reviewer has it dead on- they are like walking on pillows but with some arch support! I am a teacher and stood on my feet for six hours the first day I wore these and they felt GREAT. I just ordered a second pair in black.

I have a wider foot and usually wear a size 7. I ordered a 7.5 in these, as I do with most thong type shoes, and they fit perfectly. I don't know that I would pay $70 just to get the red shoe but I am thrilled with the sale price on the dark brown and black!
