You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I've only ever had one pair. Bought at Walgreens for about $5. Perfect for bike touring at the end of the day, light and easily packed.
I only had one issue with them. Whilst trying to push a tent peg it popped clear through the sole, almost taking some skin with it.
So, I'm after another pair, a brief google shows many options with hefty prices, are they all created equal?
No! They are not. I have a pair of quicksilver ones that I had for 4 years, love them to bits, but bought other and they do not compare.
What flip flops for collecting wood from a boutique storage area?
Got a couple of pairs of "Simple" ones left if interested?

NO. There are Havaianas and then there are others.
Likewise Reef. I've had a pair that have lasted years. Wear them in seawater with no problems. You can even get Reef ones with a bottle opener on the sole. Great for those beach parties you'll never go to but like to think you will. 🙂
I've had many over the years and the plain black Reef ones I had were the toughest and most comfortable.
Q: What do you call a Frenchman in sandals?
A: Phillipe Phillope
A big +1 for Joe ! And also I have bought some fit flops which are super comfy but are an aquired taste looks wise !
Timbur - I'm an 11-46.
More research required then 😯
+1 for Reefs pretty indestructible & über comfy
Havianas are the ultimate in comfort and length of life. Got 2 pairs for £20 in 2006 and still going strong - >> [url= http://www.igapost.com/ ]IgaPost[/url]
Fit Flops -1 point.
if you have 2 left feet do you wear flip flips?
I'll get me coat
Don't bother, and don't collect £200 either
If you want something that'll withstand a tentpeg 😯 I'd suggest some of those ones they wear in africa, made from truck tyres
Reef. Best flip flops on earth, and a rather lovely calendar on their website to boot...
Ahem.
All I know is you pay for the brand name.
Havianas are the ultimate in comfort and length of life.
hmmm.... I go through about 1 pair a year, through wearing the soles out, or snappage of the toe-joiny-bit. Plus after wearing them all summer my arches are sore.
I'm tempted to find some more permanent ones, perhaps with more arch support, but wouldn't know where to look.

they are very comfy and hard wearing
+1 for Reef, especially with TQT (Thirst Quenching Technology) comfy and set for opening that cheeky post ride beer.

brand name present and correct...
Great calendar. Can't believe I've missed 7 months before finding out. Have some catching up to do!
I've got the same as kimbers (but in pink obv cuz I'm a girl). They are amazeaballs 🙂
Ps I also have 17 other various pairs in different colours or with sparkly bits. 5 pairs are identical, I got them for £2 each from accessorize so they are easy to mix and match as they are all black. My husband says I'm a freak and a pain in the arse buying so many but I like them.

Where from? My current 9 year old pair of those are starting to get a bit worn out.
My wife rates [url= http://www.rainbowsandals.com/ ]these[/url]. I can't flip flop due to offensive feet. 🙁
Sanuk ones seem to last very well and I guess are comfortable as I certainly never notice them

grown men wearing flip flops?
jesus!
Last year I was advised by my doctor to start wearing them to assist with getting rid of my athletes foot. I brought a £5 from tesco which broke after a week. Then was given some Havianians which are very comfy and fit well, I've put them through the washing machine a few times too, I now have 3 pairs... And no athletes foot, they must be magic.

it was from millets when they were in receivership, wish id bought a couple of pairs!
The best and coolest flip flops share an inverse relationship with cost.
Got the same as kimbers & they are pretty comfortable. I got them cheap from Surfdome last yr.

Edit: Found some.

Oooooooooh
-10 points for wearing ladies shoes.
(unless you are a Lady of course, in which case, carry on. Nothing to see here 😉 )
i rate Beachers... the only flip flop that i've worn that dont cut in between my toes...

I've always invested in quality & have pairs from Gravis & reef etc but when in Thailand recently I bought a pair of £1 no brands & they've been amazing.
I've worn them several times a week over the past 6 months, often for the whole day & night and they're still solid and easily the most comfortable flip flop I've ever worn.
Did someone just use the word 'invested' when talking about flip-flops? 😆
Thanks for the advice folks, i popped into TKMax this morning and found a pair of Merrell flip flops for a tenner reduced from £65. The sole looks more than stiff enough for a post tour spin to he shops for scran, and I doubt a tent peg could penetrate it, perhaps not on the designers spec sheet, but for a tenner I won't die!
I have 1 pair that have a suede-ette foot surface and they are much better than crappy plastic ones, for a start they don't make the nasty sucking sound when your feet are warm! They also have a leather between toe section which works wonders over a plastic option. Mostly for wear indoors though - I also have offensive feet!

Indeed he did, so did Ghandi.
So do the Dutch.
I struggle with long sentences, DVS do nice ones and fairly 'eco' too last well even when covered in oil 😉

Sounds like a wise (ahem) investment 🙂
