In terms of my dedication to living my best, of being the change I wanted to see, I suppose I was phoning it in, kinda. For being on your feet all day long, we think the Chaco Men’s Lowdown Flip Flops are the best pair of super supportive sandals. Throughout five months of testing, these shoes became our go-to for camping, gardening, running errands, and lounging by the pool. While the midsole is EVA foam, the rest of the flip-flop material is a tough and firm rubber that feels extremely durable. We're big fans of the contoured sides and raised heel that provide the perfect amount of arch support. The footbed is firm and rubberized with a sleek arch that allows the shoe to fit well against the bottom of the foot. These shoes are very comfortable when stationary and the arch support feels balanced and uniform. While the sandals didn’t cause any chafing or blisters out of the box, the straps were a bit tight and then loosened up quite a bit after we broke the shoes in. However, the flip-flops run true to size and the footbed and straps should mold to the shape of your foot over time. 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.
New for the Women’s 2023 collection is our ‘Earth Series’, x2 flip flops & x2 sliders that use our sugarcane derived EVA foam, RPET toe posts and padded upper straps that are made from a plant-based bio leather. 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. This historic announcement had come as welcome news to the often-neglected goofy footed community. A real step in the right direction”. 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.

As a new brand we wanted to start off on the right foot so to speak and for too long regular footers have dominated the footwear market while us goofy footers have suffered in silence. It’s time to set things right.” 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. 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. 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. 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…
This was a competitive test with plenty of flip-flops for both men and women scoring highly. We still like the sandals listed below, but they didn’t make our list above due to some minor issues we noticed during testing.
Different activities call for varying levels of comfort, support, and durability. If you plan to wear your flip flops on a river run, you may prioritize a water-resistant option with exceptional traction. Those embarking on a hike will need a flip flop with excellent stability and durability. Casual users won't need to prioritize those features, but comfort will be key. By considering the activities you plan to engage in, you can make a better-informed choice and choose a flip flop that meets your specific needs. Water Activities
The Men’s collection this year features an easy to wear colour pallete in sliders & flip flops with sustainable material combinations providing variety. Ralph Wado Emerson wrote,“Life is a journey, not a destination”.It is an overused but simple quote that we buy into, we see the journey to becoming a more sustainable brand a journey that has no final destination. Are we a sustainable brand? Not yet, but we believe that our path to becoming a more sustainable brand is part of our overall journey.FoamLife was created by a collective of likeminded friends, creatives, thinkers, makers, and doers. Our story is an unconventional one from the outset…
We have a fairly even split of Men’s and Women’s styles in the range and both collections offer flip flops and sliders. 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.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.
