FAQs

Do high-quality flip flops exist?

Flip flops are characterised by their rubber soles and plastic straps that hold the foot in place. These materials don't tend to be top quality, but they will still last a long time. These days, you can get leather flip flops for women, with the footbed and straps made of genuine or high-quality imitation leather. This gives you the option of wearing your flip flops with more sophisticated looks. In fact, it would almost seem a shame to wear them to the beach. Most flip flops, however, are made of plastic.

Are some flip flips sustainably made?

Just because you like wearing flip flops doesn't mean you don't care about the environment. Flip flops also come in sustainable versions that protect nature and ensure that more plastic doesn't end up in the ocean. This is very important, as you often see single flip flops abandoned on the beach. So it's good that manufacturers are now using sustainable materials like natural rubber and certified organic Fairtrade cotton. Cork may also be used as a material for the sole; it's naturally waterproof and dirt-repellent. Needled felt features in many flip flops and is also made from organic, sustainable material.

Can you wash your flip flips in the washing machine?

As flip flops are often worn on the beach, they often come back covered in sand. It might be tempting to pop your flip flops in the washing machine, but you'd probably end up destroying them. The plastic can't withstand the spinning and heat, and can tear as a result. It's better to wash your flip flops by hand to remove any dirt. You can rinse them with a detergent under running water. Use a soft brush to get rid of any stubborn dirt. Avoid using stiff cleaning brushes, as prints are often just applied to the surface. Vigorously rubbing could wear them away.
