Flip Flops!

Types of Flip Flops

I used to wear flip flops all of the time and had a bunch in my collection. I personally can’t wear them anymore because of my sore feet but I still like to see all the different kinds there are out there. They can be a pretty handy thing to have. You can wear them to the beach, to the pool, when you go and get a pedicure, you can wear them with a casual outfit or dress them up. They are easy to pack and put in your purse so if you have a big night out planned and you can’t stand your heels any longer, you can pull out your flip flops to wear and give your feet a rest. The only advice I have is, don’t wear them when you have a long walked planned, they can give you blisters and make your feet very sore.

Casual:

They are perfect to throw on quickly with a pair of shorts or simple sun dress on those hot summer days or while you’re relaxing on vacation.

For the beach: 

They are easy to throw on with your bathing suit when you hit the beach and easy to kick off when you want to splash in the water or run your toes through the sand. Wear your fun basic flip flops when you head to the beach.

Sporty Flip Flops: 

Since they are so easy to put on and to take off, they are good for if you are taking part in athletics, not to wear when you are playing sports, but after sports or when you are hanging around the pool.

Dress them up: 

There are some pretty fancy flip flops out there that have some better support for your feet. When you want to dress up and go out but don’t want to wear heels the whole time or at all, flip flops might be a nice idea.
