Women's Flip Flops

Common mistakes to avoid

• Buying too small—heels shouldn’t hang over the back.

• Choosing zero support for all-day walking—go cushioned/contoured instead.

• Wearing leather in the pool—it can stretch and stain.

• Ignoring outsole grip for wet tiles and decks.

• Not breaking in leather straps before a full day out.

• Forgetting UV/heat: leaving flip flops in a hot car can warp the foam.

Care & maintenance tips

• Rinse after salt/chlorine and air-dry away from direct heat.

• Spot-clean EVA/rubber with mild soap; use a soft brush for footbeds.

• Leather: wipe with a damp cloth, then condition occasionally.

• Deodorise naturally with bicarbonate of soda overnight.

• Store flat and out of direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

1) How should women’s flip flops fit?
Your foot should sit fully on the footbed with 5–10mm spare at the toe and heel; straps should feel snug, not tight.

2) Are flip flops OK for long walks?
Yes—choose cushioned or recovery flip flops with arch support and grippy outsoles for comfort and stability.

3) What’s the best material for the beach?
EVA or rubber—they’re light, quick-dry, salt/chlorine resistant, and easy to rinse clean.

4) Do you offer wide-fit women’s flip flops?
Yes—look for wide-fit in the filters, or styles with adjustable straps for extra room.

5) Will the toe post rub?
Fabric or padded toe posts reduce friction. Break in leather gently and avoid sand trapped between toes.

6) Can I wear leather flip flops near water?
You can, but they’re not ideal for pools. Water can stretch or stain leather—choose EVA/rubber for wet use.

7) Are there supportive flip flops for plantar fasciitis?
Look for contoured arch support, a slight heel cup, and shock-absorbing foam.

8) What flip flops have the best grip?
Pairs with rubber outsoles, siped tread or lug patterns give better traction on wet or uneven ground.

9) How do I clean smelly flip flops?
Rinse, soap and soft-brush the footbed, then sprinkle bicarbonate of soda overnight. Rinse and air-dry.

10) Do flip flops stretch over time?
Leather may ease slightly; EVA/rubber mostly hold shape. Avoid high heat to prevent warping.

11) What’s the difference between EVA and PU?
EVA is lighter and softer; PU is denser and more durable, better for frequent, longer wear.

12) Are platform flip flops comfortable?
Yes—if the base is wide and stable with some cushioning and a grippy outsole.

13) Do you have vegan or recycled options?
Yes—look for vegan and recycled filters; many styles use recycled EVA/rubber or vegan uppers.

14) How do I stop flip flops slipping when wet?
Choose non-slip rubber outsoles, avoid worn-smooth soles, and rinse off sunscreen or oils from the footbed.

15) What size should I order if I’m between sizes?
Go up a half/whole size (depending on the brand) for a relaxed summer fit and to avoid heel overhang.
