Are Havianas (flip flops) old hat now ?

Not seen anyone wear them on holiday this year

I wear Havaianas or Reefs, couldn't care less if they are on trend or not.

They are very popular on vinted (and overpriced)! I find them comfy once they’ve been broken in a bit. The square toe ones are fashionable now.
I also have a pair of Archie’s, which are really comfy and supportive.

I was going to say exactly the same about the square toe ones being popular. My TikTok is full of people wearing them on holiday and trying to find them in stock, they seem to be sold out everywhere.

I used to wear Havianas about a decade ago, then moved on to FitFlops because I developed problem feet, just bought my first pair of Archies as while comfortable I was finding the soles of the FitFlops wore out very quickly. Hoping for a bit more longevity from the Archies.

Genuinely have never looked at the brand of anyone else’s beach flip-flops? I have thin-soled Havianas for the beach and pool. They flip, they flop, they’re as comfy as any other flip-flops. Job done surely.

I’m. It bothered I’d they are old hat, currently on holiday and have 3 pairs with me- bliss

I used to wear Havana’s religiously, they were very fashionable for a long time. However, every year they would break the skin in between my toes and also on top of my foot (until I wore them in). The thong part would also come out after a while. I’ve since been wearing Primark flip flops which are 100% more comfy and a tiny fraction of the price.

If it’s just for the beach or pool it doesn’t matter, if you want something for evenings or wandering around in the day, I love laidback London. I’ve 4 pairs now and they look great with everything, and just a bit more elevated than flip flops.

I don't care. I love them.

Agree that fit flops mumsy

I loved Havianas but they're heavy. I prefer Fitflops or Archies these days

Archies here, and have converted my friends too. Only one of our group wears her havianas now
