Yeah…doesn’t have the same effect.
I’m a big fan of New Balance flip flops. I hate thong flip flops, I want the broad strap over the top of my foot. And New Balance flip flops are awesome.
I usually get a pair as a present from my Aunt every year.
I love flip flops. I have about 10 pairs - but they’re nothing fancy. They were about $5 a pair at Fred Meyer. I need more sandles though, as I don’t always want to deal with toe floss, so to speak.
Well, at least you can feel comfortable in the fact you haven’t offended the fashion gods by being a self described Jelly Freak
Teva makes regular sandals but they also make flip-flops or thong sandals like the ones in The Sausage Creature’s link. I have the same ones except a different color.
I hate Jellys. I can’t wear them without getting blisters.
Fellow Flip-Flop Freak checking in…
I live in FF’s year round. I even have a a pair of flip-flops that I use for slippers. They have the obligatory sheepskin bunny head with long fuzzy ears on top. They drive my cat crazy. 
I love flip-flops in theory, but when I wear them, they always either hurt (like the ones I got at Wal-Mart that have a crazy, squiggly plastic lining, that looks like spaghetti) or fall apart (because I buy the cheap ones).
The Wal-Mart ones are nice to wear for a short time – the plastic part is squishy and rough, and makes my feet smooth. They’re good for the beach or the pool, but that is it. If I walk in them for any length of time, OW.
I want to try on some Havaianas flip-flops. They seem durable, so I want to know if they’re comfortable.
I need new sandals…
…oh, no. I am not buying a pair of flip-flops! You can’t make me!
I have three pairs: brown, black and blue and they are all from Old Navy. I like the cheap kind because when they break it’s no big deal, I’m just out a couple of dollars.
They never hurt my feet or between my toes. I guess that is because I have “Florida Feet.” That is the ability to go barefoot anywhere: the yard, the driveway, the gravel driveways, asphalt, the hot brown sands of the FLA east coast or even the cool sugar sands of the FLA west and north coasts.
But do me a favor people, especially guys: CUT your toenails and CLEAN them before stepping out in public with your flip-flops on, PLEASE! Nobody wants to look at your yellow toe nails or get cut by the eight inch razor sharp big toe nail.
I too am a flip-flop freak. I think I’m actually a flip-flop collector. I just can’t resist the $1.99 Wal-Mart flip flops that come in absolutely every color and pattern imaginable! I probably have about 15 pairs right now. I think I’ve gotten 5 new pairs in the past month or so. I always lose them, or the dog chews them up, but it really doesn’t matter when they’re less than two bucks.
Amen. Nothing is grosser than seeing women showing off their big foot veins, toe jam, and seeing that their 5 toes point in 12 directions at once. If you have ugly feet, and you probably do, wear shoes.
My feet are very cute, thankyouverymuch!
I never order stuff from catalogs, EXCEPT for these!
They are comfortable from the second you put them on!
New Balance makes flipflops?! Oh dear, I fear I will be spending money. I loves me my NBs.
One bit of wisdom I learned while moving furniture: You can’t effectively walk backwards in flip-flops.
Remember that.
Around here, close to the border, we call 'em chanclas.
