I've been a Rainbow sandal guy for 50 years.
They are a SoCal institution

What about slides...do they qualify? I switched to them years ago...much easier to take on and off.

Don't blow those out or you may step on a pop top.

I have Aussie friends that wear those every day... But they call them thongs.

In New Zealand we call them Jandals. Only because the first manufacturer around here called them Jandals.

They are part of the essential dress code here at the beach

I have repair of lightning bolt flip-flops I bought in 79. Haven’t worn them in several years. Also a pair of Teva’s

Wear flip-flops all the time, but now I wear top siders

I have multiple pairs of Olukai’s and love them. Wore Reefs for prob 15 years before.

Also have some Birks I’m getting broken in too, the last pair I bought was around 1995.

Reef seems to fit my foot best but I still have to try them on since different models can fit very different.

Crocs have come out with a plain flip flop which I've bought for my upcoming hiking trip to keep things light.
