Can anyone recommend a set of flip flops that are durable and last a long time? I had another cheap pair break the other day, and I’m looking for something more durable.

Havaianas last me forever. Not the fancy, multiple-material ones. Just the simple, rubber, ‘Brazil’ ones that are like $20. I live in Florida and wear them with shorts and jeans, in the summer and winter. They’re indestructible.

Im going to suggest an alternative. Just get some crocs. They are light and airy, can handle water which all drains out the holes, easy to clean as you can just hose them off, pretty cheap given that they will last for years. You want the original clog type though. None of the fancy new stuff.

I can’t bring myself to wear them. I’m usually function over form, but I just can’t.

Crocs also have flip flops. Just buy them and thank me later 😉

Like on a chain or wrapped around your neck? Does it ward off vampires like garlic or were you trying to sneak a snack into a movie?

You both have valid points. This kind of civility and open-mindedness is fantastic, but it’s not going to make a croc less ugly. A croc is all the bad shoes ever made, rolled into one and dipped into the powdered sugar of despair.

I hate flip flops with a passion. They suck to walk in. They’re uncomfortable. The thong is annoying. They break easily. They’re slippery. They’re the worst.

BUT, I actually like these Okabashi sandals. They’re comfortable and very, very durable. I got them at CVS several years ago and they’re still holding up.

Otherwise, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Birkenstocks. I have this pair and they’re amazing. They’re definitely an investment, but they’re so durable and I can walk all day long in them. I’ve had them for a few years now and they just keep getting more comfortable.

I wear tevas, normal flip flops get uncomfortable around the thong part for me after a while especially when I have to walk around the city.

Anything by Olukai. I’ve had both of my pairs for over 5 years. They look worn but still going strong.
