Havaianas earns largely positive reviews as a dependable, stylish flip-flop brand that works for beach, pool, and everyday errands, praised for durable rubber soles, easy-to-clean designs, and a wide range of colors and styles. Reviews also flag meaningful drawbacks: flat footbeds with little arch support, occasional strap chafing or blisters between toes, inconsistent longevity with some pairs breaking, and comfort limits for long walks.

  • Expensive-ish, but they last a long time. Worth it to avoid a popped out flip flop

  • Havaianas!! I've been using them since they first started off and still a customer to this day. Super comfortable with such a nice variety of colors.

  • I learned about Havaianas when I was in Brazil many years ago and they have been my summer staple since then. Thicker straps bother my toes, so I love that they have the option of thin ones. So much more comfortable! I also love how many colors they come in!

    Try the “original” and then thinner strapped to see which is more comfortable for you. I find there is a big difference.

  • Tried and true sandals. I've only had one pair break on me by the toe area but other than that, I've highly recommend these sandals.

  • I'm familiar with their flip flops and I don't think they're anything special & not worth $30+. I thought they were uncomfortable, it hurt the space between my big toe & index toe.

  • The only flip flops you'll ever need to own! comfortable, never goes out of style, amazing for summer or if you live in a hot climate! I love the Thin Strap version, they never irate me or leave me with blisters. True to size as well!

  • I love the variety of colors and that they're in every store. My favorite pair I got for a gift, and I used them as shower shoes for a few months at camp and college. They last a long time. My only complaint is that the piece between the toes gets uncomfortable after a few hours of wear.

  • These are great flip flops to have around. They’re durable and tough. It requires a little bit of breaking in, but once it’s broken in then they’re really comfortable to use and they last forever.

  • Got a few different pairs of Havaianas, one that I keep in my car for any surprise beach trips but recently had a friend send me another pair from Brazil and they're great quality, last a long time and recognisable. What more could you want?

    Feedback

    They have some other styles than just the normal flip flops which are worth checking out.

  • An elevated throwaway flip flop that you don’t have to throw away. Dollar flops can be found at old navy and discarded after a use or two. These don’t cost a dollar but are a worthwhile pair you can muddy up at the beach to keep your Birkenstocks nice and tidy.

  • They're definitely more durable than the cheap flip flops you'll randomly buy. Also, I do like that the straps are thin and comfortable, perfect for the beach. Overall, for something so simple, they did design their products well, although I wouldn't say they're innovative.

  • Havainas experience is always impecable. They have a very Brazilian look & feel which gives them a really cool vibe. The stores are always and experience and the products always have incredible designs. They recently started launching new products like bags which are also great.

    Feedback

    No improvements. Product is great. Its a product that you will be able to use for a long period of time. If you choose a slipper that has design, sometimes the design starts to faint out, but still worth it.

  • Huge variety of colours! I use them every beach holiday, super comfortable soles.

  • Very comfortable shoes! I’ll always be buying havanas different styles for every occasion. I can wear these shoes without having foot pain!

  • They do the job, but when I think flip flops i think beach/pool shoes and wearing these with wet or sandy feet is uncomfortable and my feet slip out often

  • The ultimate summer shoe and the only one I ever need to take on holiday! Super comfortable, don't rub or blister, and come in so many cute designs.

  • Havaianas were my longest lasting pair of flip flops ever. As a swimmer growing up I was always by the poolside and was constantly barefoot or in flipflops.

    Occasionally the front part of the ‘V’ would pop out, rendering the shoe useless; however you could just pop the front back into the hole and they were good as new! (as long as the flat bit did not break off)
