I love Ipanema flip flops! So when I saw them on sale at BrandAlley, I snatched up not one, not two, but four pairs of flip flops! They are all from the Gisele Bundchen range.

BF was a bit bewildered when I happily pulled them out of the boxes. "These should last me a while," I said.

While I love the white ones, I think I love the gold pair even more. It's just so pretty! I wasn't sure how the coral gemstone (black) one would look as it's quite different, but it's actually quite comfy and unique looking.

I bought my first pair of Ipanema flip flops a few years ago while on a Caribbean cruise. I remember being in the gift shop, trying on different colours, thinking "wow, this is really comfortable!"

I decided on a plain black pair which I'm happy to say, has served me very well over the past couple of years. I have worn it everywhere and it is still as comfortable today as it was when I first got it.

So why are Ipanema flip flops so comfortable?

Ipanema flip flops are made from a super soft and flexible plastic (not rubber) that moulds to your feet. The footbed is soft and springy so you can wear them standing up all day and your feet won't get sore. Made in Brazil, Ipanema flip flops are also hypo-allergenic and 100% recyclable.
