If a special lady in your life loves Spa Days, flip flops are a necessity. Having her spangly Ipanema Sparkle tucked away in her bag, ready to pop on by the hydropool while she sips a super juice mocktail and later has her toes delicately Shellac’d, will ensure she can spa-day in style. Better still buy her a spa day voucher and ingeniously present it nestled within a box of Reef Stargazer or similar. It will add to the delight of receiving such an indulgent gift.

Havaianas flip flops don’t have UK sizes printed on their flip flops, so sometimes there is a bit of confusion as to what size is right for you.

Here at Flip Flop Shop, not only have we converted the sizes for Havaianas into UK sizes, but we have also created an in-depth written guide for converting sizes on the different Havaianas styles.

Havaianas offer a number of different styles which will suit you depending on the look you are going for. Below we chat about the different options in our Havaianas range and show you the size guides for each style.

The Havaianas Slim flip flop is designed specifically for a narrower foot shape with a reduced width to the sole of the flip flop, especially at the heel of the foot. Thin straps give a sleeker look and ensure minimal tan lines. These styles are made with women in mind, but we think they are also a great answer for teenage girls and boys with still-developing

It may be September, but if you’re planning on spending the remainder of your summer in the UK, you’re likely to be covering up on those days that are a little on the colder side… And what better alongside skinny jeans than a pair of easy slide on Havaianas? The skinny jeans and Havaianas Slim combination is sleek looking and the ‘Slim’ look consistently appears in celebrity circles as well as on the high street.

So what does the ‘Slim’ refer to? This range is altogether more lightweight than other flip flops that Havaianas offer. They take the same quality elements and combine them with a narrower footbed and straps, which gives more emphasis on elegance and style as well as subtly displaying the brand’s signature logo on the straps. The lightweight nature of this model makes them a great choice for when you’re on the move - even if you’re bag is brimming in preparation for a festival, or you’re on a night out and need to give your feet a break from heels, you’ll still find a place for

Flip flops are a summer staple, inspiring a sense of freedom and relaxation in everyone who wears them. This year’s must-have flip flops will bring you closer to that special holiday feeling whenever you’re ready to discover them! We’ve prepared a list of the most stylish and comfortable flip flops gracing the streets/beaches this year:

The flip flop has been transformed! Chunky soles are super trendy across every footwear category this year, so it’s no surprise to find that flatform flip flops are also massively popular and a summer must-have. They’re just as comfortable as regular flip flops and a great option for those who want a little extra height and lots of style, without losing out on comfort. This elevated version of the flip flop has been seen often on fashion runways and is beloved by many celebrities who gave them the status of essential hot-weather gear.

Black is the one colour that shouldn’t be missing from anyone’s wardrobe.

With August being the most popular month for weddings in England and Wales, and only 5% of weddings taking place during the winter months, flip flops are not just for beach weddings and boho brides anymore. We can all agree that in recent years fashion rules have become a bit more relaxed, and that has played a major role in how socially acceptable it is to wear flip flops outside holiday hours.

Flip flops are perfect for many different weddings: from obvious ones like a beach or outdoor ceremony (try wearing high heels on grass…) to destination weddings and elopements because they’re easy to pack in your getaway bag. You might also want to opt for flip flops if you’re trying to keep costs down as they are much less expensive than traditional wedding shoes, or if you want to wear them again—on your honeymoon, for example. Most brides don’t wear their wedding dress ever again, but opting for a pair of wedding flip flops means you’ll be able to keep a sweet memento of your special day.

Bridal

It’s hard enough picking out your own seasonal footwear, let alone your children’s.

Children need summer footwear that is both practical, meaning it should be cool and comfortable, but it must also be safe, offering protection for their little toes and supporting their developing feet.

Flip flops are the ideal choice when it comes to the summer holidays when kids need something easy to get in and out of, water-friendly and easy to clean up.

From our 40+ years of experience in selling flip flops, we know that not everyone is looking for the same things when buying flip flops for their children, but there are a few things most parents can agree on: they have to be comfortable, they have to appeal to their children with fun colours, print or characters, and they have to be affordable, as they probably won’t be around for more than a year.

We’ve created a list with plenty of great options for all ages, tastes and needs.

Havaianas are one of the leading brands

Ant Says: "Love these, an update on the original Fanning, great all rounders for holidays or smarter occasions. Really comfy with a 360 degree airbag under the heel! Still with the legendary Fanning bottle opener on the out sole."

"These are like slipping in to gloves! Amazing comfort and have that laid-back-luxury feel. Timeless Classics that are absolute must haves this season."

Ali Says: "I'm off on my holidays early in the season. I've got a pair of Mayaris in yellow, I couldn't resist! Birkenstock sandals just ooze quality and their designs just get more and more inspired. I can't wait to wear these down to the beach and out in the evenings, hopefully sporting a glorious sun tan!"

"The new colours in the Havaianas Slim range this season are so vibrant. I have my eye on the Mineral Blue."
