Previously I had never thought of flip flops as something worth investing in...I mean surely foam and plastic were one and the same no matter what the price?
I got mixed responses, some people, like me simply replaced the cheap pair with another cheap pair (I easily spent £20 doing this, and the rest!)
The others swore by Havianas, lasting them all Summer and beyond making them worth the price tag.
Enthused by this news I ordered two (pink and black, because I couldn't decide) of Havianas, although I am yet to wear them because face it...it's hardly flip flop weather outside right now...and by this point it was the end of last Summer and time to move on to more covered shoes.
I'm looking forward to breaking in these pillows of heaven (if hype is to be believed) and apparently saving myself time and money in not constantly having to replace...
but is this true?
Have I been suckered in, or are these really superior footwear? I don't give harsh wear to my flip flops...a quick trip to the shops, or pottering around the house and garden is about my limit, so I'll admit my hopes are high.
What is your experience?
Here are some styles catching my eye right now!
My classic black pair, still sat pristine inside the box waiting for warmer days (blue feet are SO last season)
I really like the FIT style, they look like a comfier alternative to gladiator type sandals that kill my feet, and yet I still insist on wearing!
Silver...because everyone's feet need a bit of bling (except mine which fail to turn even the slightest bit golden in the Summer and therefore metallic make them look like corpse feet)
This is the other pair I have. I'm a girly girl who loves pink, and when I find the perfect slouchy jeans I plan to wear these with pride.SO,
opinions wanted! Have I wasted my money,
will I be left sobbing on my way to Primark to hand over my last £1 for some emergency replacements
or am I right in thinking it's ok to become a bit of a flip flop snob?
I'd also like to know where you get your old faithfuls from.
