Top Five Eco-Friendly Flip Flops
Whether you’re roaming city streets or hitting the beach, flip flops are a must for summer. Luckily, you can stock up on the staple with sustainable styles. Here, five of our favorites.

Rafters Antiqua Thong: This is the perfect transition pair of flip flops. They’ve got enough style to slip on with a sundress for a Saturday of shopping, and they’re waterproof so you can wear them surf side without worry. The straps are made from recycled PET. The outsole and midsole are made from partially recycled rubber and recycled EVA molding respectively.

Reef Lorne Sandal: Available in basic brown or black this flip flop is sure to become a favorite. Reef gathered lots of recycled parts to make this pair happen. The straps are chrome-free leather (meaning it required less chemicals for processing) and adorned with recycled scrap metal grommets. The midsoles are made from recycled EVA and the outsoles from recycled rubber. And 1 percent of the sales are donated to non-profit environmental foundations.

Rafters Circle Thong: Step out in surfer style with this pair. The hibiscus patterned strap has a circular detail to give these sandals a fashionable edge and the soles are made from recycled EVA and rubber.

BC Footwear Earthquake: Want to make more of a fashion statement with your beachwear? Go for this ankle wrap style made of jute, a biodegradable natural fiber.

Simple Women’s Cushee: From uber green shoe brand, Simple, this pair of traditional flip flops pop in pink. They’re completely vegan- and vegetarian-friendly. The strap is made of hemp while the rest is fashioned from reyclced rubber and EVA with 100 percent post-consumer paper pulp footforms.
