Detailed Review
The Havaianas Women’s Top Flip Flop Sandals shine in numerous aspects, starting with their design. The simple yet stylish white color is versatile enough to pair with most swimwear and casual outfits, ensuring you stay trendy no matter the occasion. The iconic rice-pattern footbed provides both comfort and traction, making these sandals an excellent choice for walking on sandy beaches or poolside patios.
When it comes to comfort, these flip flops truly excel. The soft rubber material feels like marshmallows underfoot, allowing for extended wear without discomfort. However, keep in mind that while they are incredibly comfortable, they do lack arch support, which might not be ideal for those who require more structure in their footwear.
Durability is another hallmark of Havaianas. Made with high-quality materials, these sandals can withstand water exposure and everyday wear, perfect for summer adventures. Plus, they're easy to care for; simply toss them in the machine wash to keep them looking fresh.
While there are many alternatives available, including budget-friendly options, Havaianas remain unparalleled in terms of quality and brand prestige. Many customers find this investment worthwhile due to the longevity and style provided by these sandals.

User Reviews
These are definitely my favorite flip flops. I got a pair in Navy Blue a few years ago and absolutely loved them. Somewhere along the way I lost track of them and I've missed them ever since. Living in the heat of the South, I've gone through several pairs of flip flops over the years but never quite fell in love with any as much as these. Or if I did love a pair I would wear them so much they would break down and fall apart... some even developed funky odors rendering them unwearable.Admittedly it may seem a bit odd to be professing love for a pair of flip flops. In particularl these as they are fairly standard looking as far as flip flops go. But there's just something about the shape of this particular brand and model (the Top, not the Slim) that seems to flatter my foot more than any other flip flop. I can't explain it. Is it because I have wider than average feet? Anywho, aside from vanity they're just super comfy and their weight is ideal - not too heavy and bulky, but still of substance. They're also very convenient - good at the beach/pool/shower and they also have enough cushioning (for me at least) to do plenty of walking if I need to. Of course, as with any flip flop, I would not go hiking or do any activities that would require actual traction. They aren't as sturdy as, say, Rainbows, but honestly I far prefer the feel of rubber under my feet. I tend to find leather very drying. Still, though, they are sturdy enough and they seem to hold up to wear and tear with ease so I trust they will last quite a while, assuming one doesn't lose them.Thus, for the aforementioned reasons, I finally got myself another pair, again in Navy Blue a few months ago when they were on sale and I have not been disappointed. A note on sizing - I generally wear a women's size 8, on the nose. Apparently, after looking through my order history, when I ordered these the first time I got a size 39/40 (US 8/9). This time, for some unknown reason I ended up ordering a size 37/38 (US 7/8) and the fit feels perfectly fine to me. Maybe my feet have shrunk? Honestly I don't remember ever being dissatisfied with larger size, so my thinking is that the sizing might be rather flexible. If you prefer tighter fitting flops order down, if you prefer having plenty of flop behind your heel order up. But who knows, maybe I have weird feet.Oh, and for reference - in the picture of the flip flops next to a black slide on - the black slide on is size 8 & 1/2. I threw in the blue notebook for color reference. I suppose size 37/38 does just barely fit my foot, but that's the way I prefer it as I usually end up tripping over flip flops that are much longer. As long as my foot's not falling off the edge of the shoe I'm happy.EDIT August 2018: Still my favorite pair of flip flops and still going strong! These even went with me when I moved to Bangkok, Thailand and back. Must haves.EDIT December 30 2020: Still my favs. Have gone with me on a move from the (U.S.) South to the Pacific North West, and on trips between the two.
True to size and comfortable.
Love it. Excellent quality
I like the look and feel, especially living on an island But these are a bit smaller than other pairs I've gotten that are labeled same size.
I don't know what it is about the flip flops but I can tell you that I won't buy any other brand. They are the most comfortable flip flops out there. They have just the right amount of padding so your feet are cushioned. I can walk for miles in them and never feel like my feet are sore. They are quite sturdy and last for ages. This is my 3rd pair in 6 years. (I live in the northeast so take into consideration that I don't wear them year round).
I love these flip flops! Now I have a gold pair and a black pair. They are true to size, comfortable, and stay on my feet well. The price was good for good quality flip flops, made well.
Just as expected. These run a little small. Sized 1 size up and they're perfect!
I have always loved Havaianas. My neighbor from Brazil brought me some over a decade ago and I wore them out. Just wish they offered them in 1/2 sizes. I wear an 8 1/2 & ordered an 8. SOOOOO close, it's a hair smaller than you want ,and I'm positive a 9 would be too long. But they ARE comfortable & reasonable at this price point.
