Flip flops for wide feet

I’m pg and due next month. I want to buy a pair of flip flops online to take to hospital with me for wearing whilst staying there with my csection. Will wear for other occasions but this is the main prompt for buying. Need to be waterproof type so I can wear in the shower.

I’ve tried flip flops in shops before and found in some places they come up too narrow for my wide feet so looking for recommendations for some that don’t come up too narrow. All I’ve looked at so far and got close to buying are unisex havinas (or however you spell them) on the basis if they’re unisex they might not come up narrow.

Any recommendations on where to go Online? Can’t get to shops so needs to be online.

Skechers ...all the way I’ve actually got what my sister calls ‘two feet square’ they are so wide and Skechers are brilliant and so comfy for wide feet. I’ve got flip flop toe posts and sliders all brilliant. And I’ve put them in the washing machine so okay to get wet....try sports direct or pavers online they have lots of stock and sometimes great reductions on last season styles....Best of luck with your hospital visit

Crocs crocband flip flops.
I have stupidly wide fit and they fit perfectly, they are also incredibly comfortable and don't look anything like Crocs - I've actually had compliments on them!
You can get them on Amazon as well as the Crocs website.

Havainas all the way. Comfy and long lasting.
Best of luck for the birth!

Another vote for havaianas. I've got wide feet, but the 'slim' version fit absolutely fine. If you are not too fussy about the colour, there's often a bargain to be found on Amazon - I bought a gold pair for £12 a couple of months ago. They last for years!

Havianas okay but I find i need the support and contoured sole that Skechers give...havianas Are really just flat and there is no arch or heel support they are just flat, remind me of the flip flops we had as kids

I got some nice ones from the wide fit section in New Look when I had 'pregnancy foot'

Tesco have "slider" style flip flops which fit my wide feet. Were about £7 I think.
