Are Havianas comfortable (for kids)?

[hazeyjane]

DDs (9 and 10) want flip flops, but don't like the 'pretty' ones, and ime they are usually uncomfortable. Havianas seem to come in good colours and are fairly plain - are they comfortable or do you get that 'saw between your toes' sensation?!

I lived in mine the last couple of years. My main concern would be them trying to run in them. That's a recipe for disaster!

Yep mine wear them all the time. DS even in winter due to years of living by the beach.

Mine were bought some for a birthday gift...now they don't want to wear anything else because they are so comfortable and squishy.

Slim Havaianas are the ones I usually buy, and I have worn flip-flops since being a kid. They have a good range of colours.

Some people's feet aren't that well suited to them physically, or they might not like the feeling of a toe post if they are not used to them. One solution might be to try the Reef ones that have a fabric webbing upper which may be more comfortable.

Trying to run or drive in flip-flops is not a good idea
