T+L’s team of writers, editors, and expert product testers wore 36 pairs of flip-flops for two weeks to get a feel for the comfort, durability, and support of the open-toed footwear. Straight out of the box, our testers evaluated the materials and arch support of each pair of shoes by bending the flip-flops down the middle to determine stability. They also paid close attention to the break-in period, noting how comfortable the sandals were and if the straps caused any chafing or blisters.

We have increased the use of our sugarcane EVA, that is now used in the majority of the range. We have also increased the use of natural cork, RPET materials derived from post-consumer plastic bottles and hemp canvas into the collection. New to the range this year is a Vegan plant-based bio-leather featured in x4 Women’s styles. Many companies are offering natural toe-box-shaped shoes. Feet tend to spread out as you get closer to the toes, and these foot-shaped shoes take this into account. This may be intriguing for those with wide feet as you won't need to worry about your pinky toe handing off the side. If you find your toes handing off, those shoes don't fit! However, those with narrow feet won't need to worry too much about this. If anything, those with narrow feet might need to half-size down for properly fitted straps. Due to launch in mid-April, FoamLife are a new flip flop brand taking the industry by storm with their comfort, style, and raw innovation… We have carried over some of our bestselling styles and colours from last season for continuity and have introduced new colours, prints and sustainable materials. We have added extra slider options into the Men’s & Women’s ranges due to the success of last year’s launch of sliders into the collection.The Men’s collection this year features an easy to wear colour pallete in sliders & flip flops with sustainable material combinations providing variety. The majority of our Men’s & Women’s collection uses a‘soft to step’ 15-30% recycled EVA foam on thefootbed and outsole. Our Men’s Mully and Women’s Wahoo stylesaremade from a brushed recyclable TPE foam, thetoeposts are made from recycled plastic bottles (RPET) and the padded upper strap is made from a 100%hemp canvas that is lined with organic cotton for comfort. The whole range is vegan-friendlyand PVC free. All of the FoamLife range is Vegan friendly & PVC free. Comfort remains key with all styles in the range featuring a raised arch support in flip flops and sliders. Chaco Women's Chillos Flip Flop: While these flip-flops do run slightly small, the ample arch support and soft straps make them excellent for a variety of activities.

Sustainabilty has allways been at the forefront of our minds right from the beginning of the brand conception and the idea was always to try and increase the amount of sustainable materials we use each season.Since we tested a variety of flip-flops with different levels of arch support, we asked our testing experts to wear them for long periods of time, on 5-7 different outings, to judge the comfort, support, and quality of the shoe. To test the traction, we walked on a variety of surfaces including loose gravel, concrete by the pool, sandy beaches, and tile floors. In the end, our top performing flip-flops require no breaking in, are made with high-quality materials, and provide all-day support for all types of travelers. We have a fairly even split of Men’s and Women’s styles in the range and both collections offer flip flops and sliders. Recycled card is used for hangers and swing tags, which are attached with recycled paperstring. They are small steps towards our longer-term sustainability goal and easier toimplement early on when starting a brand.

The 100% Hemp canvas upper with organic cotton lining felt exceptional against my skin. Hemp has long been one of my favourite plants; I look to incorporate it into as much of my day as possible. Now, in my FoamLife MULLY flip flops, its strength and sustainable durability literally carry me about earth’s surface as I step from one adventure to the next (like this very morning, school drop off to the DIY shop to exchange the wrong size orbital sander paper).If premium looks, exceptional comfort, and a big focus on sustainability are your things, it’ll do great things for you, too. As soon as I slipped my above average width, average length, fairly low arch feet into the MULLY, the ‘soft to step’ brushed recyclable TPE foam footbed caressed them lovingly and securely, as if whispering ‘welcome home’ to each and every of the 200,000 nerve endings contained on my soles. While everyone’s feet are different, a pair of flip-flops with arch support is truly a game-changer for comfort. Keep an eye out for sandals with generous cushioning and a raised heel that creates a ramp to support the shape of the foot for comfort and balance. A high-quality flip-flop will have a sturdy outsole with traction, but the midsole and footbed should also have enough cushioning to cradle the foot for maximum comfort. The majority of our Men’s & Women’s collection uses a ‘soft to step’ 15-30% recycled EVA foam on the footbed and outsole. Our Men's Mully and Women's Wahoo styles are made from a brushed recyclable TPE foam, the toe posts are made from recycled plastic bottles (RPET) and the padded upper strap is made from a 100% hemp canvas that is lined with organic cotton for comfort. The whole range is vegan friendly and PVC free. of our flip flop range now has a toe post made from RPET (recycled plastic bottles), an increase from 30% last year. We have also introduced an RPET upper strap lining and thread on many of our new 2023 styles.
