So.....How Much is Too Much for a pair of "posh" flip flops?

[Whoooosh]

Picked up a great pair on Friday and didn't think to look at the price-they were only flip flops after all.DP said "I will buy them for you"-lovely says I and then I am more than a little shocked when I found out how much they cost.

So ladies-how much is too much?

There is no such thing as 'posh' flip flops.

Flip flops are not shoes.

They are beachwear.

I just saw an interview with Denise Richards in Australian OK (I know, there's no excuse)

in one of the pics they showed shelves with 33 - yes, 33 - pairs of 'jandals' as they call them here in NZ. Now that's madness

£125 . Even my gast is flabbered and and I love shoes

are these them?

If they are, very pretty but £125..? I couldn't, unless I was rich of course!

whooosh they are not flip flops, they are elegant sandals. Thongs, if you will.

I bought some nice leather ones from Clarks last year and they still look nice now.

Not for work, maybe, but elsewhere you will wear them all summer and they will look so nice.

no, as i said, this was a few years ago. i had hurt my knee, so couldnt wear any sort of heel. and i needed something i could wear to a wedding and formally. that usually means heels , high ones with me, but dodgy knee.
the crystals on them wear beautiful, never lost their sparkle. they were what i call scissor ones with a toe post? i think? lovely brown leather, very very soft comfortable sole. even after my knee was much better and i could wear heels to fromal occasions, i still wore them lots.
price per wear, they were probly cheaper than many cheap shoes i have seen

They are lovely. Enjoy them...

at £125 for flip flops

Definately no more than £40...they would probably join all the other pairs I dont wear because I have my comfy favourites on.

I splashed out on some lovely Roxy ones last summer and they were £15. Prior to that I'd always bought really cheap ones and it made me realise that paying a bit more is worth it. They are soooooo comfortable.

I'd probably go up to about £40 but they would have to be really comfortable and go with lots of outfits.

I actually reckon that 19.99 pounds for a pair of havaians, or whatever the name is, is an insult. The probably don't cost more than 3 pounds in Brazil.

OK have definitely decided to call them sandals as there is no way I would wear them on the beach

Still a lot of money though and still contemplating returning them

BibiThree-no those aren't them,I couldn't find them on the website

how odd fo a dh to buy shoes

It was DP,not DH and DP shock horror is female

....and has far better taste than me in the expensive shoe department!

sorry, do you love them? is it a present? keep them!

oh well that MAKES SENSE

they might be overpriced, but nothing compared to 19.99 for a pair of plastic flip flops... (iyswim...)

Message withdrawn

I do love them and they were a gift so I guess I should keep them....really wish I could show you a picture...

Take a picture and post it on your profile? I am desperate to see them! Will also wave picture under DH's nose, stick one int he fridge, leave a copy in his shirt pocket, inside his laptop and on the windscreen of his car - should do the trick...

Hmm-good idea-will do tomorrw along witht eh pair DP just had to buy for herself.
