  • My relative gave this to me as a gift. The sole of the flip flop is very thin and lightweight. Since its so thin, it can go into your bag really easily like going to the beach. The product is handy to bring it with you and I like the color variations.

  • Love my flip flops! Perfect to slide on for a pool day - and can easily convert to a casual night look

  • Classic - could they be improved upon? Probably, but I haven't thought of how without compromising the simplicity of their design. Naturally rubber flip flops don't provide the best arch support and so you can't walk everywhere in them, but the angle of their cables(?) is flattering on the foot, and they're an iconic swim brand.

  • Good for the pool only I’m not walking or standing for long distances. I swapped these out for rainbow sandals . I like that they do a Disney collab And I bough my daughter a pair with Cinderella on them so I’m waiting to see if she likes them….

  • I forgot about these 😂 These were so popular in the late 00s. Always gave me terrible blisters & were weirdly narrow. The is a pair in my house that no one wears except to maybe take out the trash

  • Best flip flops. Super comfortable and good quality. Huge variety of colors. The womens slim fit models is perfect!

  • Best thongs you will ever buy. Nothing more than what they are. The metallic range is pretty.

  • I’m not sure if I just grew up in california and am used to rainbow sandals, but Havianas are not great in terms of sandals. They’re slippery, cause blisters, and break easily. They may be on the cheaper side, but they break and you have to keep buying more pairs so it’s not worth it.

  • They're really nothing special. If want a flip flop that lasts forever, I'm going to get a pair of Rainbows. If I want ones that can get ruined, I'm headed to the dollar store. These are a sort of in-between that aren't great for any of the aforementioned things. Too expensive to throw away, too cheap for "forever".

  • If you're looking for flip flops you're okay with getting ruined, these are the ones for you. They're not particularly durable or comfortable; they do the job and that's about it.

  • These are a classic. I keep several pairs on rotation in the summer and have for over the years. They're simple, comfortable, and durable. What else could you want from a flip flop?

  • I always see very laidback girls with minimalist makeup and perfect sun kissed skin wearing Havaianas. So, dress for the job you want, right?! But, I did not love these sandals. They feel very heavy to me and the footbed isn't as squishy as my cheapie Target flip flops. I guess I'll never be one of those effortless laidback girls. Sigh.

    I would love a softer footbed. It just feels like I'm walking on something close to a plywood board.

  • The OG cool flipflop

    Feedback

    I'm not a fan of their newer styles with thick soles and metallics

  • These things are built to last!! Not to mention they’re cute too, and now they have styles that are more dressy. I will say the rubber strap can rub the top of your foot if you’re walking a lot in them, but to me they’re more a “running errands” shoe rather than a “let’s go on a two mile walk” shoe

  • Great flip flops. I have several pairs that have outlasted dozens of other flip flops. I think my oldest ones are over a decade old, no rips or chunks out of them yet.

  • Best flip flops, perfect for the beach and they last forever!

  • I’ve worn Havaianas for a while, but I’ve noticed that the quality isn’t as consistent as I’d like. Some pairs have lasted longer than others, and the fit can be hit or miss. Also, if you're looking for neutral colors, they’re harder to find, which can be frustrating. They’re comfortable, but I think there are other options out there that are more reliable.

  • These are cute, but if you’re wanting to be walking around a bit I would not choose these. I have varicose veins so I take footwear seriously and there just was no support for my poor legs. My daughter enjoyed her matching pair

  • Love them for beach trips and travel. They don't last for too long though, and I would prefer something with a bit more arch support. The flip flops are too flat for my foot. Better cushioning definitely needed. I do believe that there are lot's of other better, long lasting options for flip flops now.

  • My favorite everyday flip flops. I have gone through so many pairs and love them. The neutral rubber flip flops are great to throw on for the pool or beach or just as casual footwear. There are so many styles to choose from, you can certainly find a pair to love.
