The sole logo and pattern may differ from the actual product. The thong part is durable and has a good grip on the ground, so I wear them when I go to the beach. For long distances on asphalt, soft types like U-hoos are better for reducing fatigue. Color: Gray oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Regarding packaging materials and boxes, we may reuse them in order to provide the product to the buyer at the lowest possible price. Thank you for your understanding.
