Olukai Kumu Flip Flops
Classic Comfortable Leather Beach Shoes
Olukai puts comfort first with its Kumu flip flops.
That's not to say that the Kumus are ugly; they're just a bit ordinary. The pearlesque straps on this particular color combination make them feel a little more dressed up than the other Kumus, but they're still pretty simple. They're inoffensive enough, but I can't imagine anyone will buy them for their looks.
The Kumus really come…No Comments
Mud Pie Coral Charm Flip Flops
Metallic Gold Beach Shoes
Mud Pie takes inspiration from the ocean with its Coral Charm Flip Flops. But are they perfect for the beach?
These are a really good looking pair of flip flops, with a bold coral design on a round medallion at the toes. The golden charm is complemented by the matching straps. The metallic finish makes them seem more sophisticated than your average pair of flip flops, so you could get aw…Moschino & Kartell Make Recycled Plastic Sandals
Cute Eco-Friendly Super Bow Shoes
Moschino has teamed up with Kartell to create a cute collection of sandals called Super Bow.
The colorful shoes make a big impression with their towering platform soles, peep-toe styling, and playful bow accents which mirror Moschino's famous motif. An adjustable ankle strap makes them as comfortable as plastic shoes can be, while the inspirational slogan "He who loves me follo…H&M Debuts Fashion Against AIDS Collection at Coachella

H&M is preparing to launch its fifth annual Fashion Against AIDS collection, just in time for summer shopping.
The colourful limited edition collection features several items for our beach wardrobes including tribal printed bikinis and sunglasses, chunky green wedges, ombre cover-up dresses, and T-shirts emblazoned with the Fashion Against AIDS slogan. The line's pri…Kenneth Cole Reaction Glam Life Sandals
Beaded Black Flip Flops
Kenneth Cole has given the classic flip flops a glamorous makeover with these Glam Life shoes from his Reaction line.
At its heart these sandals really are a classic pair of flip flops. However Kenneth Cole has made them more interesting with an extra set of straps and a generous smattering of beads. These pretty accents ensure the Glam Life makes a big impression on the beach, and loo…Montrail Molokini Flip Flops
Practical Synthetic Beach Shoes
We've seen bikinis, tankinis, monokinis, and even halterkinis. And now we meet the Molokini!
Those "kini" styles tend to refer to the items you wear on your body at the beach, but the Molokinis are meant for your feet. It's a good thing that Montrail went with such a quirky moniker, because such a simple pair of flip flops could otherwise be overlooked. The colored straps add a bit of pe…Model Selita Ebanks Designs Sassy Swimwear

Podiatrist Talks Flip Flop Dangers
Importance of Supportive Sandals
Spring has sprung, and we're all digging out our favourite flip flops and sandals. But not so fast. Podiatrist Dr. Steve Rosenberg has issued a timely reminder of the problems that can come with wearing the wrong pair of beach shoes.
Flip flops and other warm weather shoes are notorious for lacking the support out feet crave. Wearing these shoes on the beach, at the mall, and at the clu…Sak Brand Group Adds Footwear
Sakroots New Beach Shoes
Teva Olowahu Sandals
Unusual Casual Strappy Beach Shoes
Don't let all those straps scare you. This unusual pair of Teva Olowahu Sandals is surprisingly comfortable!
All those straps hold your foot in place more securely than the pair we get on the average set of flip flops. That security makes the Olowahu perfect for a run along the sand or a game of beach volleyball. Comfort isn't compromised either. You don't feel trapped in these shoes t…Celebrities Design Mommy & Me Havaianas Flip Flops
Courtney Cox, Tori Spelling & More Make Charity Shoes
A host of celebrity moms have joined forces with Havaianas for a good cause. Courtney Cox, Rebecca Romijn, Tori Spelling, and Nina Garcia have each designed a cute pair of Mommy and Me flip flops.
The Mommy and Me flip flops are affordably priced at $26 for the adult pairs and $19 for the complementary kids shoes. Ten percent of the sales will benefit Baby Buggy, a charity which provide…Twenty10 Footwear Makes Hello Kitty Shoes
Sanrio Japanese Cat Flip Flops & Sandals
Shoe firm Twenty10 Footwear is the latest fashion label to team up with Sanrio for a cute Hello Kitty collection.
While the shoes feature the beloved Japanese children's character, the styles should suit modern women. There are flip flops, sandals, and wedges for the beach, shearling-lined boots, sneakers, and ballet flats for hitting the city streets, and even a set of galoshes…Teva Zilch Sandal
Flexible Gray Sports Beach Shoes
Teva puts functionality first with these Zilch Sandals. Their name means zero, but these shoes enjoy a coveted five-star customer rating on eBay.
The comments center on the sandals' practical nature rather than their pizzazz. If I wasn't so intrigued by the five-star rating I probably would have passed them by. I guess the pop of blue-green is fun, but the Zilch will still never win…Reef Fold and Go Sandal
Lightweight Fabric Flip Flops with Carry Case
Reef makes it easy to dress down and head to the beach with its portable Fold and Go Sandals.
These fun flip flops come with their own cute carry pouch, which can be conveniently stashed inside your briefcase or chic everyday tote. If the day's getting you down it's no trouble to simply slip off your stilettos and slide into these more comfortable sandals.
The Fold and Go flip flops don'…Tommy Hilfiger Kelly Espadrilles
Stylish Rope Decorated Wedge Sandals
When flip flops and flats just won't do, Tommy Hilfiger offers more sophisticated style with these Kelly Espadrilles.
The original espadrilles had a flat design but Tommy Hilfiger has made these Pyrenees shoes more modern by adding a three and a half inch heel. The wedge design should offer more support than a traditional high heel, but it'll probably still hurt your feet at the end…Reef Guatemalan Threads Flip Flops
Handcrafted Woven Strap Beach Shoes
The traditional handicrafts of Guatemala head beachside with these Guatemalan Threads flip flops from Reef.
The playful hand-woven straps are what makes these flip flops really special. They're made using the same techniques that Mayan women have passed down to their children for centuries. Reef hasn't stolen these methods though; it's teamed up with non-profit group Nest, w…BCBGeneration BCBGirls Sanjiv Sandals
Modern Studded Black Leather Gladiator Shoes
Max Azria dresses up flip flops with these Sanjiv shoes from his BCBGeneration diffusion collection.
The combination of silver metal and black leather is always eye-popping, conjuring up images of rebellious biker chicks and rock and roll outlaws. Square metal studs decorate the leather strip which makes it way up our feet, complementing the chunky buckle at our ankle.
The ankl…Roxy Gracias Flip Flops
Black Buckle Decorated Comfortable Beach Shoes
They might not be the most fashion forward flip flops around, but after a day wearing them you'll likely thank Roxy for creating the Gracias.
There's no getting around it; these flip flops are pretty ugly. The large buckle only makes the wide straps appear even chunkier. They're far from feminine, especially since we can only choose between black and pewter. They're the kind of shoe…Aerosoles Chlementine Flip Flops
Bronze Jewel Decorated Beach Shoes
Aerosoles adds a little sparkle to the shore with these fun Chlementine Flip Flops.
Flip flops tend to be pretty casual affair, but these ones are more sophisticated than the average. Metallic leather is always a fun after five choice, especially when it's dressed up with amber jewels. I'm not suggesting you should take them to a fancy soiree, but they'd certainly look the part at a p…UGG Australia Kailani Flip Flops
Blue Rubber Flower Decorated Beach Shoes
UGG Australia is best known for its comforting shearling boots. But with this pair of Kailani flip flops it reminds us it also knows a thing or two about summer style.
It shouldn't come as any great surprise that UGG would know its way around a pair of flip flops. Its Down Under homeland is lousy with beaches, and that country's warm weather makes flip flops a wardrobe staple for much of t…Luxury David Palmer Painted Chipkos Flip Flops
Expensive Shoes Save Rainforests
How much would you pay for a pair of flip flops? $5 if you're a budget shopper, $20 for the average, and maybe $50 if they're a pair of stunning designer summer shoes, right? How about a cool $18, 000? That's the price tag on this pair of Chipkos sandals which have been hand painted by Los Angeles artist David Palmer.
I might, maybe be tempted to spend that sort of exorbitant money on a pair o…Earth Makes Eco-Friendly Gladiator Sandals
Recycled Beach Shoes Burn Calories
Earth has created a pair of gladiator sandals that are as good for the planet as they are for your figure, with this striking pair of summer shoes.
These on-trend sandals look like they're made from your choice of snakeskin or suede, but they're actually crafted from 70% recycled materials. It's a little disappointing that the retailer Gaiam.com doesn't tell us exactly what recycl…Apolis Co-Op Sandals
Handcrafted Leather Flip Flops Help Israeli Artisans
For many of us, a pair of flip flops is a throwaway item, a cheap and cheerful footwear option for those summer months spent lounging near the sand. But for Apolis, this humble shoe is a force for social change.
The social enterprise is behind the Co-Op sandal, a beautiful flip flop featuring a recycled rubber sole and soft vegetable-tanned leather upper and accents. The style is simp…Reef Sassy Sandra Sandals
Snake Print Strap Flip Flops
Flirty girls can put their best foot forward on the beach wearing these Sassy Sandra sandals from Reef.
They're called sandals, but with their simple straps and basic rubber sole they look much more like flip flops. Either way, they've got a lot of personality thanks to their wide, snake print straps.
These are made from synthetic rather than snake or even real leather, but that man m…PaperFlops’s New Recycled Newspaper Flip Flops
Cute Eco-Friendly Beach Shoes Make Indonesian Jobs
PaperFlops is a brand new line of flip flops cleverly made from recycled newspapers and other eco-friendly materials.
The shoes are innovatively designed using newspaper, coconut shells, and palm tree root. You might hesitate to wear shoes made from paper near the ocean, but PaperFlops has thought of that. A thin layer of natural rubber seals each shoe, ensuring it's water-resi…Snooki Designs Flip Flops & Sandals
“Jersey Shore’s” Nicole Polizzi Launches Summer Footwear Line
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is determined to make the most of her 15 minutes of fame with the launch of a collection of summer footwear.
The Jersey Shore star has already released Happy Feet slippers through her company Snooki Enterprises, so I suppose flip flops and wedge sandals are the next logical step. Snooki fans aren't likely to be disappointed by these beach-ready shoes, as the…Guess Tutu Flip Flops
Cute Pink Bow Beach Sandals with Rhinestones
Guess brings bling to the beach with this adorable Tutu flip flops.
Guess has taken a traditional rubber pair of flip flops and girlified it. More rubber makes an oversized structured bow, which is further feminized with a swarm of rhinestones at the center. And as if these shoes couldn't be any sweeter, they come in a cute candy pink! It's not our only choice; the black and gray option…DKNY Lilliana Flip Flops
Golden Synthetic Braided Strap Beach Shoes
DKNY scales back the luxury, and the price, with this simple pair of Lilliana flip flops.
This is really a back to basics pairs of beach shoes, with its brown rubber sole and the gentlest of heels. The simple sole isn't contoured or ergonomically designed as many are either. In fact, if it weren't for the white logo emblazoned on the foot bed I'm not sure I'd have recognized the Lilliana…Vera Bradley Flip Flops
Red Deco Daisy Floral Beach Shoes
Vera Bradley's famous quilted handbags may be a bit mumsy, but her funky flip flops are a good reason to give this American designer another chance.
Vera has stamped her inimitable style on these beach shoes, but it doesn't look quite as dated here. The red rubber soles make the monochrome black and white daisy design really pop.
Most designers decorate their flip flop soles, but few…Recycle Flip Flops at Old Navy
Terracycle Makes Playgrounds from Beach Shoes
Don't just throw your old flip flops in the trash when they've reached their use by date. Recycle them! TerraCycle and Old Navy are making it easy this week with the launch of Flip Flop Replay. The program will give your old flip flops a new lease on life as part of exciting community play centers.
From tomorrow through to May 22 you can hand your old flip flops over at any Old Navy store in t…Louis Vuitton’s Ailleurs Collection

Louis Vuitton has reunited with British artist Pippa Cunningham for its summery new Ailleurs collection. The line has almost everything you could need for summer, including beach bags, sandals, swimwear, silk scarves, sequin adorned T-shirts, cotton and silk sundresses, and towels.
Ailleurs is French for "somewhere else," a fitting name considering the picturesque scenes…GreenSoul Shoes Helps Needy Communities
Brand Donates Sandals to Barefoot Children
The sandals from GreenSoul Shoes are every bit as eco-friendly as their name suggests. And best of all, they're socially aware to boot!
For every pair of GreenSoul shoes sold, the label will donate another to a barefoot child. Some 300 million children currently risk disease and injury as they walk around without shoes. That's a massive problem, and while GreenSoul Shoes can't sol…Missoni Designs Havaianas Flip Flops
Colorful Limited Edition Zip Zag Beach Shoes
Colorful Italian fashion house Missoni has joined forces with summer footwear kinds Havaianas for a cute range of flip flops.
There are four different pairs to choose from, each featuring one of Missoni's iconic Zigzag patterns.
And if you're looking for a place to store your flip flops when the season ends, consider nabbing a limited edition shoe bag! The pattern celebrates the f…Reef In Cahoots Sandals
Chic Braided Strap Beach Flip Flops
All too often sun lovers have to choose between a casual pair of flip flops that can survive time on the beach and a cute pair of sandals that looks chic away from the shore. But who says we have to compromise? Reef strikes the right balance with its In Cahoots sandals.
The design is simple but super chic, with dark braided straps contrasting with the tan sole. These straps are made from sy…Xhilaration Lana Flip Flops
Affordable Black Peace Sign Beach Shoes
Xhilaration's Lana flip flops are a pair of beach shoes designed with modern-day flower children in mind.
The soles of these black flip flops are covered in rainbow colored peace signs. This colorful pattern helps to bring some personality to these beach shoes, but its placement isn't ideal. Once we step into the flip flops, the peace signs will be covered up after all. Of course the…Teva Toolani Flip Flops
Simple Pink Summer Thongs
Teva goes back to basics with this pair of Toolani Flip Flops.
Ordinarily I find Teva shoes a bit chunky with their supportive straps and cushy, thick soles, so I was excited to see the label take a more traditional approach to these Toolani Flip Flops. Without all of those practical bells and whistles, we're given a pair of flip flops that are chic and simple.
Teva fans should be prepar…Oakley Women’s Betray Flip Flops
Casual Asymmetrical Leather Beach Shoes
Oakley says it won't let you down on the beach with these Betray flip flops.
Oakley has tweaked the classic flip flop design, opting for a contemporary asymmetrical pair of straps. It's such a stylish, modern look that I'm surprised we haven't seen it mimicked by other designers.
While those straps are made of leather, they appear casual because they're so chunky. That might make th…Fendi Patent Leather Flip Flops
Luxury Designer Logo Ring Beach Shoes
For the girl who has everything, and who likes to tell the world, come these Fendi patent leather flip flops.
A gleaming silver ring proudly, and perhaps obnoxiously, bears the Fendi name. It sits loud front and center, boasting about the flip flops' heritage smugly. Some girls will go mad for that, but it's all a bit obvious for me.
Still, when you're paying almost $400 for a pair of be…Calvin Klein Liliana Sandal
Chunky Beaded Blue Leather Slingback Beach Shoes
Calvin Klein takes its signature sense of luxury to the beach with these Liliana sandals.
Calvin Klein isn't known for its sandals, and looking at this pair makes me wonder why. These are the kind of shoes that can work double duty, serving you just as well on the beach and away from the shore. I even imagine them getting a workout during unseasonably warm weather all year round.
The sec…Banana Republic Mayerhs Floral Bloom Flip Flops
Feminine Rose Beach Sandals
Why sacrifice style when you're on the beach? Banana Republic adds a bit of feminine flair to our feet with these Mayerhs Flip Flops.
The Mayerhs is one of those pairs of shoes that girly girls can't resist slipping on their feet. They'll be taken in by that large rose with its soft petals. Its metallic finish gives it more glitz than a traditional blush pink or bright red finish. It's no…ReChaco Repairs 20, 000th Sandal
Chaco’s Recycling Program Reaches Milestone
Chaco has repaired its 20, 000th pair of sandals through its ReChaco Repair and Warranty program. The initiative keeps plenty of sandals out of landfill, and Chaco employees busy with 700 sandals arriving on some weeks.
Skeptics may argue that any product that's well-made shouldn’t need fixing, but think about the punishment your sandals take during a busy summer. The scheme h…New Eco-Friendly Vere Flip Flops
Green Sandals Made in USA
All too often it seems that eco-friendly accessories are made abroad, so it's refreshing to see new American label Vere creating green flip flops in the US of A.
The beach shoes feature local recycled nylon webbing, naturally dyed chrome-free leather, and EVA foam soles with a recycled component. Some green warriors may argue that any product using leather can never truly be eco-f…Geri Halliwell Launches Beachwear
Spice Girl’s Swimsuits, Cover-Ups, & Summer Accessories
Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has designed a range of beachwear for women of all body types.

Sanuk Fraidy Cat Sandals
Rustic Frayed Denim Beach Flip Flops
There's nothing cowardly about the coolly casual Fraidy Cat sandals from Sanuk.
Some customers have commented that these flip flops aren't very cute, but I disagree. There's definitely a rustic, boho chic vibe to the frayed denim uppers. I can imagine they'd look adorable paired with a pair of matching frayed cut-off shorts, or a flowing bohemian sarong.
But as is always the way wi…Teva Ventura Cork 2 Rialto Sandals
Comfortable Women’s Red Leather Beach Shoes
Teva has the market cornered when it comes to comfortable summer sandals. With the leather upper on these Ventura Cork 2 Rialto sandals, the footwear label creates a pair of shoes you can happily wear on the sand or the streets.
While the style of these sandals isn't very innovative, it is lovely in its simplicity. The red leather straps are quite stylish, while the sole is made for com…New Lanvin Suitcase Honeymoon Set
Designer Beach Travel Kit
Lanvin has released a summery set for anyone planning a Caribbean honeymoon, or simply a getaway to warmer climes. The new Lanvin Suitcase Honeymoon Set has everything you need for traveling to your destination, and spending time on the sand once you're there.
This travel set is packaged inside a white glazed canvas suitcase. Pale materials like this are never ideal when you're on…OKA b.’s New Holiday Shoe Collection
Cute Vegan Flip Flops & Sandals for Beach
The Northern Hemisphere may be getting cooler, but American beach footwear brand OKA b. has just released a new collection for anyone lucky enough to travel to warmer climes.
I particularly like the cheekily named Little Black Shoe range. These black flip flops with their pretty flower and bow straps look to be just as essential as your little black dress. If you prefer more color yo…Tory Burch Foundation Summer Fashions
Flip Flops, T-Shirts, Beach Totes & More for Women’s Charity
Tory Burch wants to get you ready for summer with her cute range of charity accessories. Unlike many designers who donate just a portion of their profits to a good cause, Tory Burch gives 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these goods to her foundation. The Tory Burch Foundation finances American women looking to establish businesses to take themselves and their families out of po…Teva Devi Lifestyle Thong
Cute Comfortable Sandals with Ankle Strap
Teva is a great go to brand when you're looking for sandals that will feel comfortable on your feet all day. Sadly though, most often it lets us down when it comes to style. But the label gets the blend right with the Devi Lifestyle Thongs.
Don't get me wrong; these aren't the kind of sandals you could wear to the clubs or a fancy restaurant. But for an everyday pair of flip flops, they're qu…Roxy Women’s Tahiti Flip Flops
Affordable Simple Colored Zebra Print Sandals
Roxy claims that even if you never get the chance to walk along the shores of Tahiti, "your feet will never know the difference when you wear" these Tahiti flip flops. Excuse me Roxy, but I'm a bit skeptical.
The colorful printed are soles are quite endearing, but strip away the aesthetics and you've got a fairly stock standard pair of flip flops. Roxy tells us that the flat sole makes th…
