Can anyone recommend a set of flip flops that are durable and last a long time? I had another cheap pair break the other day, and I'm looking for something more durable.

Havaianas last me forever. Not the fancy, multiple-material ones. Just the simple, rubber, 'Brazil' ones that are like $20. I live in Florida and wear them with shorts and jeans, in the summer and winter. They're indestructible.

Im going to suggest an alternative. Just get some crocs. They are light and airy, can handle water which all drains out the holes, easy to clean as you can just hose them off, pretty cheap given that they will last for years. You want the original clog type though. None of the fancy new stuff.

I can't bring myself to wear them. I'm usually function over form, but I just can't.

understandable but once you wear a celery stalk like a necklace all day. nothing phases ya.

I hate flip flops with a passion. They suck to walk in. They're uncomfortable. The thong is annoying. They break easily. They're slippery. They're the worst.

BUT, I actually like these Okabashi sandals. They're comfortable and very, very durable. I got them at CVS several years ago and they're still holding up.

Otherwise, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Birkenstocks. I have this pair and they're amazing. They're definitely an investment, but they're so durable and I can walk all day long in them. I've had them for a few years now and they just keep getting more comfortable.

Oofos have taken a beating and are still going strong after ~5 years. Are they truly BIFL? Maybe not. But pretty darn close.

I wear tevas, normal flip flops get uncomfortable around the thong part for me after a while especially when I have to walk around the city.

Reefs last a long time, but they make different grades.
