If the arrival of warm weather has you itching to free your toes from the heavy cage of snow boots they've been trapped in all winter, a great pair of flip flops is going to be your best friend.
We're flip flop fans ourselves, and over the last decade, we've put nearly 150 pairs to the test on paths, beaches, gardens, and while meandering through town.
The best men's option is the Olukai Ohana, first for its comfort and second for its supportive build that comes about as close to a real shoe as a flip flop can get. For women, we love the Birkenstock Gizeh. These stylish shoes are a staple in many summer wardrobes because they are comfortable enough to wear all day, look good with almost any outfit, and last for years.
For a budget pick, check out the women's Archies, which offer a step up in support compared to your typical rubber flips, or the men's Teva Mush. Both are comfortable, affordable, and you'll have no qualms about getting them wet.
If you're looking for an open-toed option but want some added stability, or prefer skip the toepost, take a peek at our sandals review.
Who it is best for: If comfort and versatility rule your wardrobe, the stylish Birkenstock Gizeh are the shoes for you. They are durable and easy to wear around town, and if you're willing to invest, the shoes will provide custom comfort and support as they gradually mold to your foot's shape. While design can be a bit stiff right out of the box, the customized comfort and support it provides once you take the time to break them in is unparalleled. The contoured sole and adjustable straps enhance the shoe's stability, and the raised edges along the sides help cradle your feet in their natural position and protect against stubbed toes. The EVA outsole set the standard for traction when we took this on some dirt trails outside of town.
Why we love it: We love the Gizeh because they are just so darn wearable. While the suede-lined cork sole can be pretty stiff at first, it softens after about a week of wear, allowing the arch and toe ridges to follow the natural contours of your foot, after which you'll have a hard time wearing any other sandal. The unique, effortless style can be dressed up or down, and they will most certainly become your go-to footwear during the warm-weather months. Plus, the proprietary birko-flor leather look-alike is easier to maintain than leather.
Should you buy it? This is a high-quality, durable design, and it comes with a price tag to match. The higher price, longer break-in period, and granola-girl style may not be for everyone, but they certainly won us all over after a few seasons of testing (plus there are plenty of fun colors that feel less granola-y). We love the custom fit, extra support, and the raised edges along the sides that help cradle your feet in their natural position and protect against stubbed toes. The only person who should not buy the Gizeh is one who's looking for a water shoe; in that case, you can check out the Birkenstock Gizeh Essentials EVA. Anyone else who wants the support of a full-blown shoe combined with the free-air feeling of a flip flop should seriously consider the classic Gizeh.

Who it is best for: The Olukai Ohana is ideal for those seeking a stylish, comfortable, durable flip flop with excellent arch support and stability, perfect for casual wear or activities like poolside lounging or river crossings. If you don't want to suffer through a break-in period, these feel amazing straight out of the box.
Why we love it: The Ohana is durable and supremely comfortable, molding to your foot over time for continued performance, with a contoured footbed, superb arch support, and a rugged sole offering decent traction. Our tester praised its versatility: “The rugged design, durable materials, and good looks did everything I asked of them — and aged with grace.” At the same time, its wide selection of colors and patterns adds stylish appeal. Our female testers also loved the women's version of this flip flop.
Should you buy it? This premium flip flop is worth the investment for its exceptional blend of comfort, support, and traction, but its higher price and heavier weight may deter budget-conscious buyers or those packing light for travel.
Who it is best for: The Archies flip-flops are worth considering if you love a sleek, minimal style, but need a bit more arch support than a traditional flip flop. The fact that they're among the most affordable pairs we've tested is just a bonus. These flip flops are super lightweight and packable, making them a great choice for travel, pool days, the beach, or backpackers who need a break from their boots on an extended trip into the mountains. They are available in a wide variety of colors, ranging from bold yellow and orange to more neutral black and tan, and the closed-cell foam is denser and more hygienic than other materials. While not the most structured or supportive design we tested, it is much better than a flat footbed, where you can feel your foot strike the ground with every step.
Why we love it: The most unique detail of the Archies is that they were designed by health care professionals in order to better support the arch and alleviate common ailments in the feet, in addition to better aligning your posture starting from the ground up. The 1+ inches of thick foam and the higher arch were definitely appreciated by our lead tester, who was struggling with Achilles pain during the test period.
Should you buy it? For the most part, these flip flops are comfortable right out of the box, but the toe strap can feel a little tight, especially for those with wide or high-volume feet. But the stretchable strap conforms to the shape of your foot after only a few uses, and it helps support your feet by keeping the shoe well attached, even when the footbed is wet. “While the footbed got pretty slippery and noisy after the shoe got wet, the tight strap helped my feet stay put,” says one tester. But those with wider feet should try before buying, as the footbed shape is better suited to narrower feet. But for many people, these are not serious deal breakers, especially at this price. We love the variety of color choices and think they're perfect for running casual errands or wearing in the shower at the gym, and their lightweight construction makes them ideal for travel. Overall, they're a step above your average flip without the expensive price tag.

Who it is best for: The Teva Mush II is ideal for flip floppers shopping on a budget who aren't planning to get too adventurous with their open-toed footwear. These are comfy and outperform their low price. “The testing team all agreed this bargain model was able to keep up with rivals twice as expensive,” our gear experts concluded.
Why we love it: This is a high-value option that quickly broke in, offering personalized comfort after just a couple of days. The supple footbed and toe straps felt soft against the skin, and they are ridiculously lightweight at only 6.45 ounces, making them easy to bring while backpacking or traveling.
Should you buy it? These aren't the best for traction, but if you're planning to keep your flip-flopping on the more casual side, these are well worth the money. These have a nice neutral aesthetic and are capable flip flops for beachside walks or hanging on a boat.

Who is it best for: The OluKai Ho'opio Malua features slims styling that belies their supportive nature. A slightly contoured footbed offers some arch support and stability. It doesn't have the intense arch support of some of the other options in our lineup, but it doesn't have the bulk either. It models the minimal aesthetic of classic rubber flip-flops, but with greatly increased comfort and durability. It is a perfect flip-flop for women who prefer more of a low-key profile underfoot without throwing comfort out the window.
Why we love it: The Ho'opio Malua is durable without being clunky, and the straps fit snugly against the foot to prevent the shoes from flying off mid-step, though if you have high arches you might find the straps a bit too snug. These have all the things we love about OluKai's other flip flops, but in a more minimalist package. They're also water-friendly, and have surprisingly good traction on wet surfaces.
Should you buy it? The Malua is a true slim fit, and the shoe runs narrow in our experience. If you are between sizes, we recommend going for the next size up. They are also less comfortable than some of the more substantial options we tested. They don't provide a wide, stable footbed or quite as much arch support. However, they are still a significant step up from basic rubber options, and if you want an elevated beach shoe, the Ho'opio Malua is a great option.

Who it is best for: The OluKai Mea Ola is perfect for those who need a stylish, dressy flip flop that's still comfy for all-day wear. These aren't meant to get wet, so they are ideal for dry-land use for shoppers who also prioritize aesthetics. Our review team summarized, “These eye-catching flip flops prove that you can look great without sacrificing functionality…as long as you keep these out of the water.”
Why we love it: The mid-grade arch support worked for literally every member of our testing team, from those with flat feet to high arches. The footbed shaping was also well-designed, with a comfy heel cup and raised outside edges that complemented the arch support. Last but not least, the fully wrapped leather build offers an incredible aesthetic, especially with the canoe-whiplash stitching on the toe strap.
Should you buy it? These are a very expensive pair of flip flops, but with top-end construction materials, looks, and performance, these still offer decent value. If you need something to be used in and around water, we'd look elsewhere, but for a stylish dry-land flip flop, these are hard to beat.
Who is it best for: Perhaps one of the best-known names in the game, the Havaianas Slim flip-flops are a narrower iteration of their classic model. They are affordable, water-friendly, and pack flat in a suitcase, making them the perfect option to take on your next vacation as beach or pool shoes. They are also priced low enough that you won't feel too bad if you accidentally leave them behind. If you want a pair of shoes that are easy to toss into your beach bag and add a fun pop of color to your outfits, these are for you.
Why we love it: We've had our fair share of bargain bin flip flops, and the Havaianas Slim are definitely a step up, despite being so accessibly priced. They are made from rubber with a subtle textured rice pattern on the sole that reduces slip when the material is wet. We wouldn't call it traction per se, but the texture helps keep your foot from slipping around on wet concrete.
Should you buy it? The Havaianas Slim are truly basic flip flops, but sometimes that's exactly what we want. They aren't the shoes we'd want to walk for miles, but they are much more substantial than options made with EVA foam, and they will likely last through 2-3 seasons of use. If you're not an all-day flip-flopper, but want something that you can change into to keep your sneakers dry and free of sand, the Havaianas are one of our favorite options.
Who is it best for: The KuaiLu Yoga Mat Leather is an impressively inexpensive pair of flip flops that's great for shoppers wanting a budget option for their next vacation. These are light enough to lug around in your carry-on bag and have a thick memory foam so you can enjoy your days poolside or beachside in comfort. Unlike many budget models, the Yoga Mat Leather also has a clean style, so you can walk from the lake to the restaurant without changing footwear. (This means packing fewer shoes too.)
Why we love it: As one of our men's testers shared, “There are many inexpensive flip flops available today, but few offer as much comfort and versatility as these.” KuaiLu also has 18 different color options for this footwear, allowing you to get the exact aesthetic you want to match your shorts or jeans. We love how generous the cushion is on these, and several of our testers were able to wear these all day right out of the box.
Should you buy it? If price is the most important thing on your list, the Yoga Mat should be given a closer look. These don't have the tread or arch support for steep beach access trails, but they are among the softest midsoles we've tested yet and are very comfy for relaxed strolls or poolside hangs. As long as you aren't needing the best model for durability, the Yoga Mat might be the right option for your next trip if you're headed somewhere warm.
Whether wearing these with jeans or swim trunks, the Yoga Mat Leather is a versatile travel model that'll save you money for your plane ticket or hotel. Credit: Zach Lovell
Who it is best for: The OluKai Ohana is one of the best options for ladies who want a classic flip flop that doesn't sacrifice comfort and support. This water-friendly flip flop feels at home whether you're out in the garden, heading to the grocery store, showering at the gym, or hanging with friends at the park. The uniquely cushioned footbed maintains your body's anatomical position while providing a soft, shock-absorbing surface, and the flexible, thick toe straps are perfect for those with wider feet. If typical, cheap, flat flip flops don't provide enough support for your feet, we recommend the Ohana for its out-of-the-box comfort and arch support.
Why we love it: Season after season, the Ohana has remained at the top of our list of award winners. There is no break-in period, and the soft and cushy footbed feels great right out of the box. We think the fit runs true to size, but compared to other Olukai models that we've tested, the Ohana works best for those with wider, high-profile feet. The contoured footbed feels great for those with high arches, while the rubber outsole offers solid traction, and the top layer of the shoe has enough grip to keep your feet from sliding around, whether wet or dry. One of our testers, who is a resident of Yosemite Valley, loves this sandal for hanging around camp, trips in and out of the Merced, and showering at the wellness center, as it supports her tired feet from many days on the job.
Should you buy it? Although the Ohana is definitely more expensive than your average flip flop design, we consider the out-of-the-box comfort, contoured footbeds, and great traction worthy of the bigger investment. One downside is the weight, especially compared to other minimalist, less supportive designs. “Even though they're a bit heavier, they are still packable and take up limited space in your pack,” says one tester. These also have a more sporty aesthetic that not all women will love. Still, the support it provides more than makes up for these minor drawbacks, and your arches will appreciate the comfort over the long haul. And if you're looking for a more affordable option that provides a little extra support for your arches, check out the Archies flip-flop, which comes in a wide array of colors and has a more dainty profile.
Who it is best for: The Astral Filipe is ideal for shoppers demanding a flip flop that holds its ground on wet or dry surfaces. With an easy-to-add heel strap, this high-traction option can be quickly converted into fully strapped sandals, making them even more capable in rugged terrain.
Why we love it: We became enamored with the zero-drop footbed and the added foot security from the heel strap. While these don't have much arch support, many of our testers with lower-volume arches had minimal complaints. The razor-siped outsoles were truly confidence-inspiring on slick, wet surfaces.
Should you buy it? Some flip floppers take their open-toed footwear to more intense places. If this is you, we highly recommend taking a hard look at the Filipe. Our review team concluded, “These are fantastic for adventure flip-flopping as long as you don't need arch support.”

How We Tested
We order the most promising flip flops each season for rigorous side-by-side testing. We leave no stone unturned as we take these shoes on a range of terrain, including beaches, pool decks, river walks, town squares, and more. Our hands-on testing allows us to thoroughly engage with each product, learning its ins and outs while focusing on key performance aspects such as comfort, support, traction, versatility, and style. This comprehensive review highlights some of our favorite flip flops that we've found over the years.
Zach is an IFMGA Mountain guide who craves flip flops and sandals as a respite from the long hours in climbing shoes, hiking boots, or ski boots. If he had to guess, he would say he has spent a third of his life in flip flops or sandals. He's also spent over a decade in product testing and has a keen eye for detail across many categories, including flip flops.
Brooke Hess leads our women's flip flops tests. Brooke, a professional whitewater kayaker and former member of the US Freestyle Kayak Team, she now favors extended wilderness expeditions with friends. Off the river, she climbs, skis, or works on river conservation. Constantly switching between wet kayaks, climbing shoes, and ski boots, she finds flip flops her ideal in-between shoes for prioritizing foot comfort. Likewise, Trish spends much of the year in footwear meant to perform, whether on a climbing route, a backcountry ski tour, or a trail run, so when it's time to give her feet a break, flip-flops are her first choice.
Our team took these flips all over, testing the capabilities of each pair.
How to Pick the Best Flip Flops for You
Getting your toes out in the open air is one of the most exciting parts of summer. Slip on a pair of flip flops and get moving, or fling them off to feel the grass between your toes. But choosing the right pair goes beyond what meets the eye. These shoes are made with a variety of footbeds, which can make or break the comfort and durability.
Based on your day-to-day activities, certain flip flops are going to better or worse. However, it's hard to go wrong with the OluKai Ohana. Credit: Matt Bento
Types of Footbeds
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of flip flops might be a piece of rubber with a couple of straps. It can be as simple as that, or it can go much further, with some models putting particular care into the footbed, the actual piece that your foot rests on.

Light Foam Footbed
Light foam beds are cushiony right off the shelf and usually undeniably cheap. You might find these sandals as a quick solution when you get to the hotel and realize you forgot yours back home, or they can be a great shoe for the pool or gym shower. Though they are lightweight and inexpensive, they have minimal support, stability, and traction. They aren't the most durable option and may need to be replaced several times. However, they have a time and place. This is a great option for casual wearers because they are so inexpensive and comfortable for light use. Headed to the coffee shop or need a house shoe? They can handle that.

PU Foam and Rubber Footbeds
Polyurethane (PU) foam and rubber are a step up from light EVA foam. These materials are a bit denser and last a bit longer, but are still pretty affordable. PU foam can be molded at the factory to form soles with better arch support and subtle edge contouring that keeps your feet in place. These materials keep their shape and won't conform to your foot over time, but they also won't “pack out” or flatten as quickly.
Foot-molding footbeds are just like they sound — they mold to your feet over time. These models can be made from foam/rubber compounds, or compressed EVA (as with OluKai's ICEVA). Right out of the box, they are comfortable and cushiony, and over time, the footbed becomes an exact mold of your foot. Some options can have substantial enough contouring and arch support that they can be worn all day.

Leather and Cork
Leather and cork footbeds are usually found on higher-end flip-flops, and are great for people who like to wear flip flops all day every day if they can. These options can cost as much as a regular shoe, but they deliver nearly as much stability and comfort. They are meant to last through years of use, and the natural materials mold to your feet over time, though more slowly than foam options. You may experience a short break-in period before the flip-flops are comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time, but in the end, you have a pair of flip-flops that mimics your foot's natural shape and can be worn for years to come. The downside is that flip-flops made with leather and cork are not meant for the water, so you'll want a cheap backup pair for pool days.

Contoured Footbed
Contoured footbeds are available in all the materials listed above, though are most commonly found in cork. We love a contoured footbed because they are carefully crafted to mimic the foot's natural shape, which helps promote proper alignment and stability, reducing the risk of foot fatigue and discomfort. By offering targeted arch support and heel cups, these footbeds alleviate strain and provide a cushioned base for the entire foot.

Wet or Dry?
Different activities call for varying levels of comfort, support, and durability. For some, flip flops are a lifestyle; for others, they're merely a transitional shoe to be used in the pool locker room or gym shower. If you're the type to wear your flip flops day in and day out, and you live in a place where the climate is warm enough to stay open-toed all year round, you'll want to invest in a pair of flips that will support your feet over the long term and won't need to be replaced after a single season of use. If you typically prefer to keep your toes covered, but need a pair of water-friendly shoes to wear for your yearly beach vacation, you can get away with something more basic, but functional, and still budget-friendly. In all cases, comfort is 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 needs.
Water Activities
Days at the beach, pool, or lake are probably the most common times you'll want to wear flip flops. All too easy to slip on and off as you run in and out of the water. If this sounds like you, make sure your pair is actually made for water. While some options are obviously not (hello, leather), others seem water-friendly but have permeable footbeds that can hold water for long periods. This not only makes the shoe annoyingly heavy and soggy, but can also lead to the growth of mold and bacteria. If you plan to spend time by the pool, beach, or river, we recommend choosing a water-resistant, quick-drying option instead. Closed-cell foam helps with this. This recommendation is especially important for those who wear flip-flops in locker room showers, where bacteria are prevalent.
If you're seeking a dedicated water shoe that will offer superior grip on wet surfaces and won't fly off your foot at the first sign of a current, head over to our water shoe review to see which pairs we loved.
Certain options have better traction when wet. We appreciate specially textured footbeds that grip the foot when wet. This helps keep the foot in place and prevents the shoe from sliding off. The outsole is just as important here; a grippy shoe prevents you from losing your footing on wet rocks and pool decks. Not only that, but water-resistant options often float, so you won't need to worry about losing them forever if they slip off; you just have to chase after them.

Daily Use
If you're looking for a casual shoe for quick dog walks or running errands, you likely won't need to worry too much about traction or water resistance. Instead, overall comfort and style are top priorities. You'll want something that looks good with the clothes you wear most often, so stepping it up to a nice leather option or a more substantial foam option is the way to go here. It might be tempting to reach for those soft-foam flip flops you found for just a few bucks, but if you plan on being upright on your feet for any considerable amount of time, a pair that supports your entire foot will get more wear in the long run.
Depending on your intended use, you might also consider the shoe's packability. If you're flying out for a much-needed beach vacation, or hunting for a shoe to slip into your suitcase just in case you decide to take a dip in the hotel pool during a work trip, you'll want something with a sleek and lightweight build that won't take up too much room in your luggage.

Fit
The whole point of walking around in flip-flops is comfort and freedom. The last thing you want is your natural stride to be interrupted by having to grasp the shoe with your toes mid-step. Equally annoying is a too-tight strap, which can cause pinching, hot spots, and blisters.
The straps should hold your foot securely without being too tight or too loose. If the straps are too loose, they may allow excessive movement, which can affect the placement of the arch and heel cup when your foot strikes the ground. Conversely, if the straps are too tight, they can restrict the foot from fully extending into the toe box. Ideally, properly fitted straps will keep your foot properly aligned with the arch, toe box, and heel cup throughout each step. Some flip-flops come with adjustable straps, which can help address these fit issues.

Many flip flops feel rather slim, and without sidewalls to hold your foot in place, those with wide feet can end up with their pinky toe hanging off the side. However, sizing up isn't always the solution, as it also adds more length. Certain brands are known for making wide-fitting shoes, and some higher-end brands even make flip flops in wide widths. Those with narrow feet might have the opposite problem — shoes that are too big. Again, sizing down isn't always the best solution, as you might lose some length. If you want a secure fit, do some brand research and visit a store to try on the shoes in person.
Different models also have different arch support heights. Choosing the right level of support can help prevent conditions like plantar fasciitis. If you've got high arches, look for a shoe with greater arch support. In contrast, those with low arches should avoid arch-aggressive shoes, which may cause pain over time. Some flip flops provide extra support with a rounded heel cup. This helps keep the heel bone secure and stable. If you choose a flip-flop with a heel cup, ensure your heel sits comfortably in the center, or else be prepared to risk blisters.

FAQs
Generally speaking, a more expensive pair offers better construction and, therefore, better longevity. Pricier flip flops also often provide more arch support and traction than budget-oriented models. For casual in-town strolls and poolside days, a less expensive option might be all you need, but if you wear your flip flops on a daily basis, or plan on taking your flip flops on more adventurous trails to reach remote beaches, consider investing in a pricier pair.
Flip flops are pretty light for the most part, but since they are held to your feet by just two straps, the weight can be more noticeable. Featherweight options are easier to toss into a beach bag and can be more pleasant to walk in, as long as it's a casual stroll, and their weight will pull less on your toes when lifting your foot. On the flip side, heftier models can offer greater durability and stability, and might be the better option if you're not worried about packing.
None of our testing team are podiatrists, and we strongly encourage you to chat with your doctor if you have specific foot health considerations, but we find flip flops to be a part-time footwear class. If you're lounging around the house or beach all day, they can likely be worn longer, but we suggest a more secure class of footwear for longer hikes or urban walks, even if that just means bumping up to a sandal.
Other Notable Flip Flops
A few other flip flops caught our eye this season, but didn't make the final list for one reason or another. Here are some alternatives you might want to check out.
Rainbow Single Layer Premier - These are classic flip flops that are great for on-land adventures and are very stylish, but they aren't designed to get wet, making them less versatile than much of the competition.

Birkenstock Gizeh Essentials EVA - our testers love this shoe for its affordable design that's perfect for the water thanks to a fast-drying, complete EVA construction that maintains comfort and enough support for shorter periods of wear.

Oofos OOriginal - For a particularly cushy flip-flop, these are hard to beat. They are washable and have a rounded outsole that makes every step feel almost too easy. These are part of the recovery footwear category and naturally aren't the most eye-catching, but they are great for post-run vegging or gym flip-flops after you've wrapped your workout.
