Along with the hot weather in New England comes a few of my favorite things – ice cream, sun, outdoor activities, BBQs, and flip flops. I’m a casual gal and I’ve always felt that I had “sensitive” feet. Huh? Well, either I have sensitive feet or I just don’t understand the “beauty is pain” concept when it comes to shoes. Trying to avoid uncomfortable shoes at all costs means that flip flops are a staple of my summer wardrobe. I’m thinking about getting a few new pairs (although Dan will probably tell you I have too many already).
Here are a few flip flops on my want list:
Teva Olowahu- Already have two pairs. Most comfortable things ever! They come in a variety of colors/patterns. I’ve seen them at City Sports, Eastern Mountain Sports, and REI in the past, but you can order them online too.

Old Navy Flip Flops – Every year, I buy at least a couple sets of flip flops from Old Navy. They come in every color and are really cheap – usually $5 or less. This year, they’ve got some funky criss cross sandals and jellies.


Roxy Zuma – Roxy has some real cute flip flops in a variety of styles, but I like these best.
Reef Ginger – I’ve never owned a pair of Reefs, but some of my friends swear by them. This style comes in a bunch of different colors too.

Reef Libson – Another style of Reefs – these you could pull off at the office!

Havaianas Lake Green Flip Flops- Never really heard of Havaianas Flip Flops, but they seem to be a pretty popular brand from what I gather. Thought these were cute!

Got any suggestions for comfortable summer shoes???









Funny that you wrote about flip flops today; I just read an article linked to from msn.com about how bad they can be for your feet – as bad as high heels!

I got these from DSW in tan, and believe it or not, they are wicked comfortable:

Havianas are the best, super comfortable and super cute. I bought a pair at the Green Tangerine in Kennybunkport by Sugar Toes you can see their stuff on line too. Cute and a fun way to show off your personality. http://www.sugartoes.com
