I receive these flip-flop as a anniversary gift from my wife . I be expect the old version of the reef with the really squishy bottom . it be not those , I do not think reef make that kind anymore , which be really a shame because they be incredibly comfortable . as I wear they in , they be get more comfortable , but not quite what I be hope . they be still excellent shoe and I would recommend they if you be look for a basic black flop that go with a lot of different thing .
