Rainbow sandals?

[emsumm]

I need new sandals/flip flops for this summer.  I wear mine a lot, and I walk a lot, so comfort is most important, but I do care somewhat about style.  I love my Toms but I want something airier, lol.  Rainbows?  Something else?  I have black Teva flip flops that I wear to death.

Not entirely fashionable but I love my keens.

Rainbows are cute, right? And they're supposed to be really comfortable? I aspire to be stylish, but I'm not really there. I like to be comfortable too much.

Love love love rainbows.

Sigh...I actually Googled "rainbow sandals" because I wanted to be funny. Turns out, you're not talking about color...

[polka]

Yes, I love Rainbows or Havaianas!

Here's a post from a couple weeks ago with recs (I'm on my phone, hope the link works):

I like Rainbows.

Get the thin strap.

More attractive.

Very.

Now I have to choose between sienna brown or espresso. Gah.

Are they rubber or are they foam?

I like reefs because they're foam and I won't break out.

[alzi]

I second Reefs. Thin strap.

I don't think Rainbows provide enough arch support if you walk A LOT. I walk many miles a day and I LOVE my Mephisto Violette in black patent and they look adorable. I get many compliments. Pricey but they have held up for 2+ years now with walking nearly every day (seasonal) www.zappos.com/mephisto-violette-grey-etna

Count me in the clueless camp - I thought we were talking about colors, too.

They are leather

Love my rainbows. Very comofortable.

[luckyval]

Leather, with a stiff foam in the middle. Very very comfy and very sturdy

I've got the sienna brown and pink. Definitely get the thin strap

Ditto this!

I'm actually not a huge fan of flip flops in general- I wear the "sidewalk surfers" Sanuk shoes, which are pretty much flip flop bottoms with a fabric top. Very airy and comfortable. Looooove them.

My favorite Rainbows have a leather strap, but I do have three pairs that are all rubber/foam/fabric.

My most recent Rainbows that have no leather is the Sandiva.  You may like it.  The strap is thin and sparkly.  LOL.

I don't like rainbows at all anymore they seem heavy to me. I love my sanuk yoga mat flip flops. They are super comfy and light.

[emsumm]

Oh yay, I found them in my size in dark brown for $36 on Amazon. Woo!

[julez]

Posting here so that I can remember to shop for flip-flops at home tonight...

I've never had Rainbows. But I sure love my Reef thin straps.

OMG, given where you live, this is a travesty.

I love you, farmvillelover.

I know I tell you this every day, but it's true.

I bought a pair of Sanuks on the Asbury Park boardwalk a few years ago when the strap on my Old Navys suddenly broke. The Sanuks are still going stong and they're super-comfy.
