Need new flip flop recommendation
I am in need of a new pair of flip flops. I love my current Reef Fannings, however, I'm not going to spend $55 for flip flops. So can anyone recommend a similar flip flop with a comfy sole that won't break the bank? And, no, I don't need the bottle opener that the Reefs have. Thanks!

OMG. Same issue.
My old flip flops were Gotcha's. so comfortable.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

My sketcher flip flops are extremely comfortable. Been wearing them for a couple of years now, but I can't remember what I paid for them.

You need to find them on sale. Shitty flip flops will just hurt your feet. I know I've brought some based on price before. I find them good ones cheap in the OBX when I'm done there in the off season these days.

I like Montrail. The ones with an adjustable front strap rather than the thong style. Seems like Crocs have a following.

I get a couple of years out of a pair of Reefs. $55 every couple of years is what $2 a month? How long do $25 flip flops last?

You should buy a Ford. They are the best vehicle ever made.

No, wait, you should buy a Chevy, Ford's suck.

You're all wrong. Lifelong surfer, beach bum, and all year round flip flop wearer/connoisseur here.

Rainbow sandals are the way to go (it's a flip flop).

Yeah, they're around $40-$50 depending where you purchase..but they're leather and will last you FOREVER.

Once you break them in, they mold to your foot and they are the most comfortable, stylish, and durable flops around.

I have quicksilver, oneill and reefs, the Oneils are by far the best. You can usually find one of the above mentioned brands in places like Marshalls/TJ Maxx etc. for around $20 a pair.

I just bought these, to replace my worn out leather Rainbows. I decided to go with something rubber because I end up getting wet and the leather doesn't like it.

I have had a few pairs of Teva Mush flip flops over the years, I may get some basic Reefs again but I like the Tevas well enough, they arent expensive.
