Page 2 - Sizing and Guides

Every summer we start to prepare ourselves for the season ahead. We get a tan, buy a new outfit and a pair of flip flops, and we book a holiday somewhere warm and sandy. One thing many of us overlook is our feet, either because we think it takes too much effort or no one will notice anyway.

But trust me, people do notice, especially when you’re rocking your favourite flip flops or most comfortable sandals. And even if they don’t, giving your feet a bit of TLC can have an effect on your overall mood and confidence when walking about.

Getting your feet summer-ready doesn’t have to be unpleasant or costly. It can be a relaxing ritual along with the rest of our summer prep.

Additionally, the soles are crafted from memory-foam and will adapt to the unique shape of your foot. So while your sandals will ultimately feel great on your feet, achieving the perfect fit will take time and patience.

It’s that time of year again - the sun is out and the weather is warming and one glance at your calendar has you dancing under your desk at the approaching “Holiday” reminder. It’s time to bring out the only gear fit for purpose - your flip flops! But do they fit you?

Flip flops are a little different from most footwear, especially in the way they are constructed. It may seem like getting the right fit with a pair of flip flops doesn’t require as much thought behind it as other shoes, since they’re only made from a simple sole and toe post strap, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. As is the case with most footwear, the fit is essential for your comfort and overall experience.

You’ve come to the right place! We’re the flip flop experts, and we’re going to give you a quick run-down on how flip flops should fit.
