Are you in need of some new summertime footwear?

There are two types of people in the world of summer footwear: flip flops people and sandals people. If you don’t know the difference between the two, then this is the post for you. Both are meant to let your feet breathe and provide you with some much-needed comfort during the hottest months, but there are some important differences as well.

In this post, we’re going to look at the sandals vs. flip flops debate and give you a quality sandal and flip flops guide so you can buy the ones that appeal to you the most. Read on and let your feet guide you.

You may have thought that flip flops were just one subsect of the entire sandal category, but there is an important difference between the two. Sandals are an ancient piece of footwear that exposes at least the front of the foot. More often than not, sandals expose your entire feet, with a variety of strap styles to keep the sole connected to the foot.

Within the category of “sandals”, you can have an enormous number of styles, shapes, materials, etc. You can even get high heels, as you can see with these sandals. In general, they provide a bit more security and arch support than flip flops and they can be worn in both casual and formal settings, depending on what they look like.

Here’s a quick sandals buying guide:

  • Decide on the purpose of the sandals before buying them (formal, casual, beach, dinner date, etc.).
  • Always take arch support into account, as well as overall comfort.
  • Leave a little bit of space at the end of the footbed.
  • The flexibility of the sole is important for long walks.

Your Flip Flops Guide

Flip flops are like sandals that aren’t quite finished. They’re defined by their thong between the big toe and the second toe, as well as the lack of any strapping that keep the sole attached to your foot. The name “flip flop” comes from the sound that the plastic or rubber sole makes as it slaps against the bottom of your foot when you walk.

They’re usually cheap to buy and used in more specific circumstances than sandals. If you’re going to the beach, hanging out in your back garden, or any other comfy situation, flip flops are a great choice.

Here’s a quick flip flops buying guide:

  • Choose a material that feels great.
  • Don’t spend too much money on them.
  • Don’t buy hard soles.
  • If you want to spend a bit more money, you can get arch support.

The Sandals Vs. Flip Flops Debate: Where Do You Land?

Now that we’ve taken a closer look at the sandals vs. flip flops debate, where do you land? In all honesty, there’s plenty of room for both sandals and flip flops in anyone’s shoe closet and you kind of need a variety to suit any situation. As long as they’re comfortable, easy, and breathable, then they’re great summertime shoes.

In the market for some new summer flip flops? Let me share my latest obsession the  Hari Mari flip flop. They are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn! 

We all know that flip flops are the must-have sandals for summer and especially if you live near the beach. 

 

 

Why I love my Hari Mari flip flops

#1 comfort

They have a nice padded sole and great arch support as each pair is built with patented memory foam-lined toe pieces, supportive foam arches and soft-squeeze rubber mid-soles to keep feet in constant comfort and the cloth straps feel nice on my feet.  We all know that horrible feeling of rubbing plastic flip flops that give you blister so these cloth straps are a huge plus.

Now Mari Hari has added the Dune line which are great for water activities and all weather adventures. These make great boating sandals since they have white bottoms and Boat-safe outsoles provide extra grip with 100% rubber traction. 

#2 style 

I love that they come in so many nice color combinations from solids to simple patterns and I like that they have a variety of options for both men and women. 

 

 Hari Mari vs Rainbows

As a long time fan of Rainbow flip flops, I would say Hari Mari are a bit more on the preppy side compared to brands like Reef or Rainbow that fit better with surfer culture. The comfort level is equal if not even a bit better at first wear for my Hari Mari’s. Rainbows are amazing but take a long time to break-in. If you want an alternative to Rainbows the best choice from Hari Mari is the Scouts Breeze/Chambray line. 

 

 

Hari Mari x Nokona

What could be better than mixing Baseball & Flip Flops? I didn’t get a pair yet but I am eying the  limited-run Nokona leather flip flops  for my husband. Made with premium baseball glove leather and memory foam-lined straps, these limited-edition collaboration sandals are ideal for a day at the ballpark or as your new daily summer go-to flip flops. 

 

 

#3 giving back 

 Hari Mari is one of our recommended brands for their focus on philanthropy in addition to making very cute and comfy sandals. Their commitment is to pediatric cancer, donating 1% of sales to help pay for medical & treatment costs for children and families in-need. 

 

What I don’t love about Mari Hari flip flops

#1 hard to clean 

Since they are cloth, they do get dirty very easily though. The cloth is white so it does not clean off real well. I want to wear them everywhere because they are so comfortable, but I cannot wear them for all events just because they get dirty and don’t really look that great once they are stained. Although I just found this guide to cleaning them that might just work to restore the white glow that I love! 

I really like the sandals, I just with the soles would come in darker colors. 

Where to buy Mari Hari flip flops?

If you’re in the market for a new pair of super comfortable summer shoes, Foamies by Skecher are a great option! 

These fun loving clogs will make you feel as though you’re walking on clouds with every step. The flexible Foamies upper and contoured Arch Fit footbed provides unbeatable comfort, while the fun playful colors and patterns from rainbow ombre print to bright florals is sure to brighten up any day.

Wear your fashion with the latest trends and most comfortable shoes from Skechers! The flexible uppers in eye-catching colors, plus Luxe Foam cushioned footbed are what make these slip ons so great.

Here Are Three Reasons Everyone Loves Them:

  1. They’re extremely comfortable. The foam make-up ensures that your feet will be cushioned throughout the day. 
  2. They come in a variety of fun colors and designs. You’re sure to find a style you love! 
  3. They’re machine washable! No more stinky and sweaty shoes during those hot summer days.
 

 

How do Foamies compare to Crocs? 

Foamies have the same clog style design as Crocs, bright color options and air vent holes. Beyond the visual Foamies are often said to be way more comfortable and better for those with arch support needs.

Foamies vs Crocs

Skechers Foamies are made of lightweight foam and are perfect for summertime activities, while Crocs are made of durable rubber and can be worn in any type of weather. Skechers Foamies come in a variety of colors and designs, while Crocs only come in basic colors.

 Crocs have a heel strap for a more secure fit, while only some Skechers Foamies have a strap. 

Foamies can’t be decorated like Crocs or Dansko’s so if you really want that extra flair go for Crocs and add some expressive Jibbitz

 Both shoes are equally comfortable and provide good arch support, so really it comes down to what is most comfortable for you! 

 

 

Skechers Foamies Sandals

Foamies now come in sandal styles! These are great for the beach or vacation days by the pool! Foamies come in all kinds of sandal styles including flip flop, slip ons and strappy sandals. 

 

 

Are Skechers Foamies washable? 

Yes!

Foamies are machine washable. Machine washable shoes are a great way to keep your feet clean and free of bacteria. It is important to follow the instructions on the product detail page so that you can machine wash your shoes safely and avoid discoloration. By following these simple instructions, you can enjoy your machine washable shoes for many years!

Simply look for the machine wash symbol on the style you are buying to confirm your specific style is washable.
