$400 flip flops?

[whiteworks]

I run rainbows, grab a new pair every season for $40.00 and leave the old pair in the drop box at the shop down in SC. Been hearing about these $400.00+ flip flops for a while, nothing but positive reviews. Hand crafted, American made, best materials, good working wage for employees , etc..

I’m not gonna drop $400 on flip flops, it’s against my religion or some shit, however there’s an ass for every seat

Hand Made Flip Flops

Sizing Flip-Flop Sizing Made Simple Unlike shoes, which need to fit snugly to function properly, flip-flops offer a more forgiving fit. Think of them more like a platform—similar to a snowshoe (but obviously less extreme)—that you stand on top of rather than fit inside. With flip-flops, you...

I dunno, the "Bad Mother Fucker" pair is only $395...

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

F that. I’ll stick with my Rainbows. Double arch for ~$80 and they last a decade

 

[Mcob25rg]

That’s a definite no.

 

[dspracing]

I guess if you like standing on the straps.

Rainbows last me 3-4 months and I’ve only qualified for the warranty once. I’d pay more for something longer lasting.

 

[76 Hondo]

I wear Vionic they last and have arch support which makes the feet fell good.
$85.00. But also have Reefs here in the closet at the River, always buy the same color so when one bites the dust maybe I’ll have an extra?

http://How about the $1000 stingrays pair?

 

[hman442]

500 bucks and no bottle opener in the sole....wth ? Some of them do look pretty cool though, but I think I respect my money too much to buy something priced like those are. I think my money would be pissed off at me!

 

[Heylam]

Whiteworks, Josh Martin (who you probably know through your board building) swears by them. I'm tempted to give them a go since I wear out Rainbows every six months or so.

 

[rivermobster]

Gonna guess Kid Rock has a few pairs of those.

BTW...

@whiteworks ...

Rainbow sandles??

 

[Desert Whaler]

Thanks for the reminder . . . need to order a fresh pair.

FWIW, I've been very impressed with the 'Simms' Challenger flips. The leather ones dry-out and crack too quickly for me being around the saltwater so much.
I get a solid 2 seasons out of a pair of Simms before I get a fresh set and they're still going strong. (save 'em as back ups)
Comfy, good support, and good traction on the boat wet or dry.
Bonus points for not smelling like foot-ass either.

Bare foot in the house , Sneakers everywhere else cant stand flip flops any more ......to each their own

 

[FlyByWire]

I’m the dumbass that wears shorts and flip flops with a big jacket in 30 degrees. Haha. I can’t do the leather soled ones. I’ve settled on Reef cushion lux’s and burn through a pair a year or so.

Maybe I’ll these rainbows you guys speak of. No homo.

 

[stokerwhore]

i keep several pairs of Rainbow's in rotation. I like sales and limited editions (as long as they're double thick)

free 2 day air shipping right now on orders over 100$. i recomend the "east capes" or anything "luxery leather, double arch" Rainbows were around long before the homo's stole the rainbow.

I'll stick to my Olukai's, thank you very much

 

[Crazyhippy]

Only last 3-6months, but damn they are comfy!

Used to love Rainbows, then I broke my foot, and they don't agree with my titanium plates. Have tried multiples, and keep coming back to The beer cozy Sanuk's.

 

[JJ McClure]

Reefs. But I might try a pair of those Grudens. They look comfy

 

[Backlash]

I wish the manufacturers could come up with a more reliable adhesive between the layers in the sole. That's where I always have problems. The layers simply separate. If OluKai could fix that one issue, their flops would be perfect.

 

[SCHIADATROUBLE]

I wore rainbows for a long time but got tired of my feet getting stained every time they get wet. Switched to the Cobian’s and love them

Did you even read that before you hit submit???

Double Thick rainbows...

Reefs $55, with bottle opener!

I get mine at Big Bend once a year, and I wear em Every day.

Go be poor elsewhere.


Ardy needs these to complete his ensemble.

Who the fuck wants to open a bottle the bottom of their nasty ass shoe?

Did nobody learn how to use another bottle or an empty can, or almost any other item to open a bottle???

 

[PlanB]

My wife buys Reefs in bulk. I probably have 5 new pairs at both the Havasu and California house. I do have a pair of nice leather dress flip flops that i wore at my wedding in Hawaii, but the leather actually gets slippery. I will stick with Reefs.

x100 for Reefs. Not for the bottle opener. They need to make a steel toe version so I can wear them to my job site.

Best flips I've ever owned.

They offer a waterproof version, the soles are stitched around the perimeter.

LOl that picture always reminds me of Bill’s birthday party in The Great Outdoors

 

[Outdrive1]

I graduated from flat ass non arch supporting Rainbows to Sanuks

 

[warpt71]

I found a leather pair of reef's on my sandbar several years ago and love them. I usually have a pair of Vans in rotation too.

I typically don't drive in flip flops so they all last me a long time

Well if I have to wear shoes and socks... it’s always Vans

She always has a nice selection of 15s for Me. I usually grab 4 pairs sometimes 6. Can't beat the Labor day sale. Buy 1 get 1 free.

 

[beaverretriever]

I'll stick to my Olukai's, thank you very much

Ive worn them all and there is nothing better! Rainbows were ok for a long time, and Reef if I just didnt want to spend much, but I agree, OluKais are so much better than anything else. Having a footbed with support and the quality overall is by far the best. Not the cheapest at 90 to 125.00 but not 400! That is "riGodamndiculous" as John Wayne would say.

Yeah, I’ve caught some of his rainbow modifications on his Instagram feed. It’s pretty crazy how he burns through them so quick LOL

I'm with you. I've never owned a pair of flip flops.

 

[Shlbyntro]

Ive got a really nice pair of Oneills I picked up in Florida. super comfortable and the price was right too! @C-Ya

 

[JJ McClure]

Unless the weather forces me into vans, I’ve worn flip flops since 84. Well. All my life if we actually think about it

 

[Albert]

I have been wearing these w socks … just kidding Reefs here.

 

[boatnam2]

I was in west marine the other day, FF's on average were 60-100 bucks, found pair of cobian in the 70% rack, fit my wallet perfect.

 

[monkeyswrench]

If I wore sandals everywhere, I guess 1-400 for a pair is ok? I spend 200 for my boots, and where them everywhere but on the water.
Me, personally, I'm not spending 400$ on flip-flops unless they were biblical...at least an Apostle edition or something.

Thanks for the referral. Just ordered a pair.

I always buy olukai. I have a couple pairs now and seem to survive the summer abuse of boating season.
