Spring

When spring springs into action, some colours just work best. Think pastels, soft but bright warm colours. Think the Easter Bunny and dyeing eggs. Soft pinks, purples, robin’s egg blue, kumquat orange. When the proverbial (or literal) snow has melted, the weather is warming up, go for the simple pastel colours when choosing flip flops.

Summer

It’s beach time! Across the sand, out on the coastline, along the river, summer is the time to rock those tropical prints, your sunshine yellows, and deep turquoises. Fun in the sun means 80’s retro looks, seashell patterns, anything that reminds you of the ocean blue, be it at home, in Mallorca, Bali, or Curacao. Bright, high-energy colours are the way to go for summertime flip flops.

Autumn

Just because the weather is cooling off doesn’t mean you have to give up that open-toed life! Jeans or yoga pants with black or brown flip flops are totally legit nowadays. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Winter

Okay, now it’s cold out. In reality, at this point, if you’re wearing flip flops you are wearing them indoors, either in your home or in the locker room at the gym. Or you live somewhere tropical, and seasons don’t matter. Rock that snowflake white look, your holiday reds, and greens. Even customise your pair of flip flops with fuzzy straps. Yes! So much, yes!

Year-Round Styles

What’s your favourite colour? Get a pair of flip flops in that colour. Be yourself, and let your light shine! Who cares what other people think? Confidence in yourself and your look is what matters. If you like it, then that’s what counts.

Summary

As we’ve discussed above, flip flops aren’t just for the beach anymore. There are plenty of fashion-forward style choices you can make that could include flip flops. Comfort matters! Flip flops are a great way to keep your feet happy.

1. They’re Relaxing

There’s no better feeling than taking off a pair of shoes you’ve been wearing all day and slipping into some lightweight flip flops, whether it’s after a long day of work or a day out. Our flip-flops are designed to be as relaxing as possible. If you’re not a fan of slippers but don’t want to be walking around barefoot then flip flops are the perfect thing to wear around the house.

2. They’re Comfortable

Flip flops might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of comfort wear, but they are more comfortable than you might think. A good pair of flip flops are designed to be as comfortable as possible and support your feet where needed. Plus, our vegan flip flops are made from natural rubber which is incredible spongy, lightweight and soft!

3. They Give You Freedom

Flip flops give your feet more freedom compared to a regular pair of shoes, it’s nice to be able to wiggle your toes every now and then without any restrictions! Slip them on or off whenever you like, as easy as that. Perfect for the summer days spent on the beach, or winter evenings around the house. They’re also super easy to clean if you’ve worn them outside.

4. They’re Quick & Easy

Flip flops aren’t just for sunny days spent at the beach, although the British weather can be a bit hit or miss, flip flops are great all year round. From slipping them on to walk to the shop, to wearing them around the house, any occasion that requires you to slip in and out of shoes quickly calls for a good pair of flip flops.

5. They’re Breathable & Hygenic

Unlike trainers or closed-toed shoes, flip flops allow your feet to breathe freely. This is ideal for those who suffer from sweaty or even smelly feet. Allowing your feet to get proper air circulation helps reduce sweat and smells., and is considered much more hygienic than regular shoes.

The rubber allows for a comfy fit offering a good amount of cushioning and anti-slip capabilities, here at Waves, we make all of our flip flops from natural rubber that’s ethically sourced from Sri Lanka! Other materials such as foam, plastic and leather can be used for flip flops, which all offer various benefits, plastic and leather flip flops last a long time and are durable but can’t be recycled, so they usually end up in landfills.

Fit & Sizing

When buying flip flops it’s important to get the sizing perfect. We recommend choosing a size that means you can see around ½ inch of sole around your foot. This ensures you get the perfect fit, improved comfort and reduces your chance of injury.
