Top Flip-Flops and Thong Sandals for Women

By , About.com Guide

There's much debate over what defines a "flip flop" sandal. To me, a flip flop has always been a flat, casual thong sandal that is free at the back, so that when one walks, they get a sort of "flip-flop" sound.

Whether you call them flip flops, thongs or beach shoes; these top picks in women's flip-flops and thong sandals will keep you comfortable and stylish all Spring and Summer.

Poll: How Often do You Wear Flip-Flops?

1. Nine West "Rojo" - Flat and Dressy Thong Sandals

Much fancier than most of the flip-flops you'll see, these thong sandals from Nine West still offer loads of summery casual attitude, but they do it with an impeccable sense of style. With metallic leather uppers and rhinestone embellishments, these sandals can dress up a casual outfit, or add a bit of Summer fun to slightly dressier clothes.

2. Crocs Sandals - "Capri Suede" Flip Flops

Casual and comfy, these flip flops feature everything you've come to love about Crocs sandals in and updated package. Available in four great color combinations, these sandals have the usual nubby contoured footbeds, but their feature sueded stripes.

3. Carlos Santana "Sparkle" - Skimpy, Shimmery Flip-Flops

This skimpy thong is the ultimate in cute! With tiny little glossy straps and one oversized rhinestone embellishment, this flip flop would add a bit of sparkle to shorts, capris, casual skirts and dresses, or jeans. Available in black, white, ivory or coral.

4. Reef "Seaside" Popular Flip-Flop Two Packs

Incredibly popular and reasonably-priced, these Reef sandals come in a wide variety of fun prints and colors. But the best part is, they're sold in two-packs, and each set has two styles, so you get twice the bang for your buck.

5. "Cecil" Embellished Flip Flops from Yellow Box

Perfect for women who like even their most casual shoes to have a certain amount of bling, this fun sandal comes in black, brown or cognac, and features one gigantic rhinestone atop its suede straps -- and contrast stitching for good measure.
