Detailed Review
The Billabong Women's Kai Flip-Flop is built with a focus on both fashion and function. The vegan-friendly braided novelty strap adds a unique touch that makes these flip-flops stand out. You will appreciate the Cece Construction that offers a near-barefoot experience, ideal for those who value natural movement in their footwear.
The comfort level is among the standout features, as the 'squishy' footbed provides lasting cushioning, reducing fatigue during extended wear. Whether you are running errands or taking a stroll along the beach, this footwear promises ease of use with its slip-on design. However, keep in mind that while they deliver on style and comfort, they are not water-resistant, which may be a drawback if you plan to wear them in wet environments.
In terms of style, the medium pink colorway is versatile enough to pair with a variety of outfits, from sundresses to shorts. These sandals appeal to individuals looking for comfortable and fashionable options without compromising on ethical choices.

I love the lighter colors, woven straps, and nude colored sole. They are soft, support your foot well for a flip-flop and look great!
OMG these are SO Freaking Comfortable!!! I have been wearing flip flops for over sixty years, I have lived my life in Florida and I am a connoisseur of classy flip flops and these are Totally Freaking Awesome!!! Cushy soft soles that still have support and they just feel SO good on my feet!!! Love um!!! Thank you!!!
I wear a size 9 shoe and the sandals in that size fit me perfectly. They have a little bit of cushion compared to other sandals. After years of wearing flip flops, I've recently had to make more of an effort in finding shoes with some arch support. I'm hoping I can wear these sandals during the summer months without feet issues, but time will tell. So far they feel fine to walk around in.My pair has a black woven strap. Most of the time I can slide my feet right in but every once in awhile the strap twists and I have to reach down with my hand so it lays flat on top of my feet. (If you are in a hurry, this is slightly annoying but obviously not a big problem) The sandals are a deep tan color where you place your feet and because of the foamy like material they will eventually get dirty the more you wear them.Don't forget to remove the stickers on the bottoms of the sandals. One of them was easy to get off but the other one was practically super glued on there and resulted in me digging my finger nails into the material trying to get it off.
Sole of sandal completely split. I won't be purchasing again. Two days after the thirty day return window.
These flip flops are super cute and comfortable though a tad stiff at first. They will take a little bit of breaking in, but worth it since they’re cuter than your run-of-the-mill flip flops. Just the bit the fits between the toes needs a touch breaking in – the rest is golden. They’re very true to size and even though it’s only April in the Seattle area I’ve worn them quite a bit around the house (take the dog out, etc.). They feel like they’ll hold up well at least for a couple of seasons. Recommended for sure! ~Amy
These are great, really comfy & cushy flip-flops. I have flat feet so they get sore by the end of the day with most flip-flops. I have to look for ones with arch support and that's why I tried these ones. They are super cushy and have great arch support. I wear them all day with no soreness at the end of the day. I like the Rainbow color of them, the colors are bright and vibrant. I'm going to buy another pair I like them so much.
Nice, affordable sandals from Billabong with a really soft and cushy foot bed.The braided straps are lined from the inside and don't feel scratchy or irritating against the skin.Footbed is super soft and comfortable with a nice grippy sole on the bottom.These run TTS, or a little smaller so order your usual shoe size and you should be fine. I'm usually a size 7, sometimes a 6.5 in sandals, but the 7 was perfect in these.
These are comfortable sandals that my wife like though she does have a few small issues with them.On the upside, they are comfortable. She can wear them all day at work (about 5 hours) as a pre-school teacher who is mostly on her feet. Additionally, she didn't find that they rubbed or caused any issue with wearing them. They're also cute with some style but not overly bling-y (though obviously personal preference.On the downside, they have a bit too much slack in the strap. She has standard to narrow feet and feels like these might work a bit better for people with wider/taller feet. That said, again, she didn't really have any comforts issues though they did "flop" a bit more than her other sandals. Width wise they fit right so it isn't an issue of needing to size down.All in all, comfy, cute sandal that fits as expected but does have a bit of extra slack in the straps is you have narrow/small feet.
