Recommendations for comfortable holiday flip flops for beach and sightseeing

41 replies

Hello
Can anyone recommend holiday flip flops that don't rub and that are suitable both for the beach and a bit of sight seeing? (I have Tevas for longer days out.)

I used to be fine in Havaianas but as I have got older, not only do they rub between the toes but they also blister the top of my foot. I have quite wide and 'high' feet so maybe it's that. I do have Tevas and Birkies but I'm desperate for a pair of rubber flip flops too.

Thanks

Crocs. I like the getaway toe loop but they do loads of nice flip flops and sandals

Rubber birkenstocks

i have the Fitflop iqushion, they are great but I'd never wear them for walking around places, no flip flops are supportive enough for my poor feet. Beware abroad, in some countries such as Italy for example, in some regions they are only allowed on the beach, you can get a fine for wearing them in cities or for walks.

OOFOS fillips are great..my poor feet suffer in Summer and found these online or maybe sports shop might have them.

it not the sole or support that affects me now though, it’s the blisters on the top of my foot and between the toes. So I think the thicker sole won’t help 🙂

Animal flip-flops, the cushioned fabric ones, not the rubber ones are great for my difficult feet. Not sure I’d do a day’s sight-seeing in them though. Clark’s sandals for that. Not pretty, but supportive.

Totes Solbounce are my faves....amazon or Tesco often have them for around £20, super comfy, no rubbing between the toes. Specially designed for all day comfort apparently!!

Fit flops!

Archies. I have got the flip flops and the slides (I l find the slides more comfy but both are good). I wore the slides to walk around Rome (about 20 000 steps in mid summer) and they were so comfortable!

I also love my Fitflop iqushions but I don’t think I'd wear them for a day if sightseeing.

I didn't know you could be fined for wearing flip flops in some places!

Totes solbounce evey time! Amazon usually has them for around £20, also JL. They are comfortable and seem to last, mine have been well used over the past 2 years and still going strong. I have PF and most other flip flops are too "flat", these are supportive.

Thank you. It’s blisters I’m worried about rather than support. Do you have wide feet,
