As per every Yellow Box shoe - these had the most beautiful bling and nice true navy color. I have had many pair of Yellow box thongs over the years and when I read that these had a "comfort" foot bed I decided to try them out.Turns out they are no more comfortable than any other pair . All Yellow box thongs are very comfortable, but these were nothing out of the ordinary. I have a few pair of the "old" style ones and the foot bed in the toe area is much wider than the newer models (I like those better) - they also seem to be softer rubber. Will always continue to buy this wonderful brand - but only in an as needed basis.
