Became interested in a similar shoe of this brand after looking through a catalog my bf received from them. I did not realize I had tried in their flip flops at an Aqua East a few weeks prior and almost bought them but when with Reefs since they had the colors I was looking for. A spontaneous road trip with my friend arose and I decided I wanted the shoes. The original Olukai shoes I wanted, Amazon did not have the color choice I wanted. I found this style which is actually the style my bf liked the best. I purchased them getting them in time for my road trip! Love them. I like the versatility of the shoe, the comfort, and style!
