It's such a common thing to see just about everyone in flip flops as soon as we start getting "good weather days." I love a good pair of flip flops as much as the next guy. Let's face it, it's almost as good as being bare foot. The problem is that, as I noted at the beginning of the post, that's all you really see during the summer. Flip flops everywhere. Being the fashion conscious person I am, this summer I set out to find some good flip flop alternatives. I have found that Sperry Top Siders are possibly the best summer flip flop alternative, considering the fact that they come in many colors/styles, and sport a beachy look. They can be expensive at a price of around $75 but can often be found on sale at stores like DSW and Journey's. Vans lace-ups are also a great summer look.They come in many colors so remember to keep it simple and try to stay away from the slip-ons with checkered patterns. A good cheap idea for vans look-a-likes are the lace-ups you can find at Walmart and similar big box stores. You can pick these up for as low as $7 sometimes and no one will know the difference. Its totally fine to sport your low-top Chuck Taylor's this summer too but make sure they're in good shape since chucks tend to look shabby after a good 6 months of consistent wear. Keep a few things in mind when wearing these flip flop alternatives: You'll need to stick to basic colors (assures they can be worn with most outfits) and you'll want to invest in some no-show socks. Journey's sells some no-show socks at $10 for 5 pair. They are essential to keeping your shoes and feet feeling and looking great. Here's to a more comfortable summer for your feet!
