If you’re not spending a significant amount of your summer in flip-flops, you might want to take stock of your life and make some changes. The wonderful thing about these shoes is you don’t have to spend a fortune to find a comfy pair. Here are five pairs of budget-minded flip-flops that people on the internet absolutely love.
Hari Mari Park ($55)
The beauty of memory foam is that it’s dense yet offers ample cushion. Hari Mari uses the material to create that’s forgiving while still feeling structured. The foam is topped with moisture-wicking hemp, and the Nubuck leather straps are lined with more memory foam for added comfort.
Sanuk Beer Cozy 2 ($35)
No beer cozies were harmed in the making of . Sanuk actually uses yoga mats for the footbeds and adds a bit of arch support for structure. The webbing looks like leather, but it’s vegan-friendly faux leather with soft neoprene inners.
Keen Kona ($38)
The EVA-molded footbed gives a sense of structure that you’d typically only find in a full-on shoe, and the rubber sole actually provides decent traction. Put it together and you have a pair of flip-flops that provides support on beach days that turn adventurous. I also like the fuller coverage of the poly webbing. The antimicrobial treatment doesn’t hurt, either.
Teva Mush ($25)
You’re not going to run a marathon in these, but mold to your feet to provide a custom cush fit. We dig the canvas uppers that provide a vintage look.
Reef Phantom ($35)
Synthetic Nubuck uppers offer the look of leather in . The EVA footbeds are lightweight and springy, but contoured enough to provide structure if you find yourself moving from beach to bar and back again.
