Rip Curl Flip Flops

Flip flops live a hard life, which is why the cheap ones rarely see a second summer. Rip Curl builds them with cushioned footbeds, hard-wearing soles and straps that hold, so they survive sand, salt water and being kicked off at the door every day from May onwards. Slides, classic thongs and cushioned styles across men's and women's fits.

Rip Curl flip flops and sliders

Between the car, the sand and the shower block, a pair of flip flops does more walking than they get credit for.

Cushioned footbeds for a long day standing

A moulded, cushioned footbed takes the ache out of hours on hard sand and hot concrete, which is the difference between a pair you wear all summer and a pair you leave in the boot.

Grip that copes with wet ground

Textured, hard-wearing outsoles hold onto wet tiles, slipway concrete and shower blocks, the places where thin unlined soles let you down most memorably.

Straps built to survive salt and sand

Reinforced toe posts and comfortable strap linings resist the salt, sand and sun that break down cheaper pairs, so they hold their shape rather than stretching out by August.

Slides and thongs for different days

Slides pull on with no toe post, which suits sore feet and quick trips. Classic thong styles hold the foot more securely for walking. Both come in men's and women's fits across the range.

Frequently asked questions

Are flip flops and sliders different?

A flip flop, or thong, has a post between the toes and holds the foot more securely for walking. A slide has a single band across the foot and no toe post, making it faster to pull on and gentler on anyone who dislikes the post.

How should flip flops fit?

Your heel should sit just inside the back edge and your toes well clear of the front, with the strap comfortable but not tight across the top of your foot. Any overhang at heel or toe means you should size up.

Will they survive salt water?

Yes. These are built for exactly that, though salt and sun are hard on any footwear. Rinsing them in fresh water occasionally and drying them out of direct sun will noticeably extend their life.

Can I wear them for more than the beach?

Comfortably. Cushioned footbeds and grippy soles make them fine for town, the garden and travel. They are not walking sandals, though, so for long distances or uneven ground you want something with a secure heel strap.
