I'm assuming if you're reading this article, you already know the joy of wearing a great pair of flip-flops. If that's the case, I'm sure my top picks below will help you find a new favorite pair.
And if you're still just a curious bystander to the trend, hopefully something from the list below will help convince you to jump into a pair. Because on a hot summer day, there are few things better than slipping your feet into a great pair of thong sandals.
Reef sandals are incredibly popular, and judging by the reviews, these particular flip-flops are among their best. Averaging 5 of 5 stars for looks and comfort from over 40 reviewers at Zappos.com, these sandals cost less than $40, and come in a wide array of colors. My particular favorite is the brown distressed croc-embossed version, because it looks just a bit less casual than some of the other versions -- but with such a simple, classic style, you really can't go wrong, no matter which color you choose.
Regular readers already know how much I love Rocket Dog shoes for their comfort and for their trendy, casual designs. And these laid back flip-flops are a great example of their work. With straps made of wide wale corduroy, and a heavily padded footbed these sandals will have you looking and feeling carefree.
Here's a great flip-flop that's a bit on the sporty side, but still has plenty of style. With leather uppers and a leather top-sole, these shoes offer all the comfort that the Chaco label implies, and come in three fab color choices: weed, wood, or stone.
What I especially love about these flip-flops is that they come in white, and for some inexplicable reason, outside of the styles on this list, you just don't see many men's sandals in this shade. Beyond that though, they have quite a spiffy look for such casual sandals. Paired with jeans and a off-white or light neutral button down shirt, these shoes would be so hot.
They don't come much more stylish than these Tommy Bahama leather sandals. Available in an awesome "papaya" shade, these sandals are chic while still being the epitome of casual footwear. And while they're not exactly cheap, they look much more expensive than they are.
