Latex allergy flip-flops - help!!

6 replies

Hello,
We are going on holiday tomorrow morning, and one of our Labradors has eaten my FitFlop flip-flops!!! I have to be really careful with flip-flops as I am allergic to latex...I have no time to go shopping today, but I do know that there is a Havianas shop at Gatwick - does anyone know whether they are latex-free??!! I can't seem to find the info anywhere online.... TIA xx

They’re made from a top secret Brazilian rubber, apparently.

Will the cheapo ones be more likely to be latex free?

No idea if you can get them in time but animal flip flops are latex free and are fabric between toes which I find more comfortable.

No, sadly the cheaper ones are usually made of latex :(. I have made a lot of costly mistakes, as I will only really find out when I have bought them & tried them on!!

No, no time to get anything online, unfortunately, but I will look at Animal ones for the future, thank you

I think crocs are latex free? Does anywhere at Gatwick sell them? Or can you get them at your destination?

No, only the crocs lite ones are.
