Best flip flops for under $50?

[zanemoseley]

I'm going on a 8 day cruise at the end of May and need some new flip flops. The Chaco ecotread look nice but seem overpriced at $60. Also found the Reef Fanning which is priced better at $32 but I don't like the looks as much. Any others I need to look at?

This. slippahs are supposed to be cheap enough to lose them on the beach.

All of them? I've never seen flip-flops over $20 at least as far as I can recall.

Either proper sandals or shoes. Flipflops are unsuitable as footwear AFAIC.

rainbow sandals use soft leather. Expensive but worth the cost

If your going on a cruise and planning on walking on reefs get some reef boots.

Rock fish kill indescrimatively.

Other than that I wear tennis shoes I guess.

Something along those lines, I used to have a couple pair I just looked one up fast.

Damn straight.

For walking in the water and on lava or coral...maybe something like these:

Rainbows hands down. Bought a pair 5-6 years ago and put them through a beating when I worked at a water park and though Vegas pool parties and they are still great today.

OMG so many that comment here that don't get out.

Why God, why?

TEVAS and the like are your best bet.

I wear 'boat shoes' on a boat. If I am going on excursions that is a footwear decision I need to figure out based on what's going on.

$10 stuff is going to make you a mockery of both the people on-board and whatever you were trying to accomplish.

OMG so many that comment here that don't blow money on unnecessarily expensive alternatives just to show they are true alphas and that #MINO.

As an experienced Cali flip-flop wearer who's worn dozens of the best-rated, these are the most comfortable, most durable (easy 2-3 yr. daily use), lightest, most secure fitting (due to strap depth and ergonomic heel/foot cup), grippy in water, multi-use tread for hiking even(!), and stink-free........at any price.

I've used mine on every type of vacation trip imaginable with miles upon miles of walking in every terrain, including harsh glassy volcanic rock.

Read the reviews on Amazon or Zappos and understand why these are consistently one of the best if not the best-selling/user rated ff model year-in/ year-out.......Can be purchased on average for ~$25.

Rainbows...end of story. Best flip flops made. Mine are 6 years old and still chugging along

You seriously care what people think about you because of the type of flipflop you wear?

No, when you go stumbling all over the fucking place because your crap footwear is why I am concerned.

However; I am sure you are the guy with crap stains on the back of his pants and smells like a wet dog when things happen and complain about service.

Because expensive flipflops have the grip of good training shoes? No? Oh yeah, youre just talking crap again. :whiste:

You're sure about that are you? Know a lot of guys with crap stains on their pants do you?

He drinks Michelob Ultra on the beach like a frat boy that never grew up, shits himself, and passes out, then thinks that makes him an outdoorsman :^D

I see this on Cruise Ships bro.

Yes people shit themselves and usually wearing flip flops.

Bought these at the Ala Moana Center twelve years ago and they still look like new. Such a comfortable, contoured foot bed. Actually made in Hawaii instead of China.

I would out outdoorsman you old man.

I never pass out drinking. I don't shit myself either.

You hate everyone, you are ATOT's official Grumpy Cat.

Wear your badge proud, you introvert!

From the posts I've seen, he seems to be a twit that runs into threads non stop and posts idiocy.

alkemyst that is to clarify.

You should probably try to hang around better places then.

Honestly why would you pay money to be stuck on a boat with people who shit themselves?

Not as much as you are trying.

Based on your sig, I'd say you are setting a future stage.
