Flip Flops!

I personally love wearing flip flops especially during the summer months. I'm really sad that summer is ending and I'll have to resort to wearing shoes from now on! lol I bought like 4 different pairs of flip flops this summer and I'm gonna miss wearing them. I really oughta move to Cali. heh


So what are your thoughts on flip flops?

I think Reef makes the best flip flops period. Their durable and stylish at the same time....can't beat that.

i really hate it when ppl drag their feet wearing flip flops and ppl with really gross feet wearing flip flips..... yuck.. i mean at least get a pedicure or something

+1 on reef tho..

Not bad for lounging around the backyard, but in public - they're just not comfortable for me.

also, i never knew we had a new section, is this a new section? RedFlagDeals.com Forums > Fashion & Apparel > Flip Flops!

Geox Breathable flip flops rock! Crocs are okay but I think they're going to become overplayed like Von Dutch soon enough.

I don't like the cheapy flip flops you can pick up at Old Navy, etc. I'd prefer to spend a little more for pairs like Roxy, I find them more comfortable.

I was told by a coworker who loves flip flops was that if it's at or over $30 dollars, it should be comfortable enough to walk around on the street. Probably because there's some actual cushioning for the sole of the flip flops.

Crocs are quite...ugly IMO, but they're still popular nonetheless.

i don't like flipflops because it hurts between my toes. and they're not tight on my feet so they can fly off anytime leaving me with discomfort because every step i take i gota be careful not to kick it to the person in front of me. They should make slippers with adjustable band and doesn't go between toes!

yea well you obviously want to buy a pair with some sort of arch support. I also prefer leather flip flops over the cheap plastic ones.

oh and I agree, those crocs clogs are real fugly imo!

Rainbow and Quicksilver also makes some nice flip flops.

but I prefer Reef's over anything else.

I bought these 3 months ago and I can't stop wearing them. Perfect for jeans, shorts, cargos etc. best flip flops for guys imo!

Love them too but hate the possible tan lines it leaves when you sit outside under the sun too long

I hate flip flops. You cant run in them if you have to, and that annoying slap slap slap on the feet when you walk

The best flip flops by far are Havaianas. They last forever and are SO comfortable. They're pure rubber. I have them in black, brown and white :P

Old Navy's aren't but they make a mould of your foot because the foam is so cheap. Havaianas keep their shape and are totally flat forever.

ditto. I have quite a few pairs and Havaianas are the best. Just wish they had more designs available at more places. Most places I've checked only have the plain colour ones.

I agree that Crocs are pretty ugly (though I've seen a lot of other shoes out there that are uglier) but check out the Croc Athens:



They have all the characteristics of normal Crocs without the ugh factor. The Athens are super light with a contoured antibacterial footbed. They have lots of cushioning and are non-markig and skid-resistant (as in if you're on a boat, you won't slip and slide all over the place). I find them super comfortable and wear them everywhere.

Be warned though, like normal Crocs, they will shrink if you leave them in a hot car, out in the sun, or any other high temperature place.

They're easily available online but they're still pretty hard to find in stores here. Sportchek has started carrying them (which is where I got mine).
