Flip Flops
Top Flip-Flops and Thong Sandals for Women
By Desiree Stimpert, About.com Guide
There's much debate over what defines a "flip flop" sandal. To me, a flip flop has always been a flat, casual thong sandal that is free at the back, so that when one walks, they get a sort of "flip-flop" sound.
Whether you call them flip flops, thongs or beach shoes; these top picks in women's flip-flops and thong sandals will keep you comfortable and stylish all Spring and Summer.
1. Nine West "Rojo" - Flat and Dressy Thong Sandals
Much fancier than most of the flip-flops you'll see, these thong sandals from Nine West still offer loads of summery casual attitude, but they do it with an impeccable sense of style. With metallic leather uppers and rhinestone embellishments, these sandals can dress up a casual outfit, or add a bit of Summer fun to slightly dressier clothes.
2. Crocs Sandals - "Capri Suede" Flip Flops
Casual and comfy, these flip flops feature everything you've come to love about Crocs sandals in and updated package. Available in four great color combinations, these sandals have the usual nubby contoured footbeds, but their feature sueded stripes.
3. Carlos Santana "Sparkle" - Skimpy, Shimmery Flip-Flops
This skimpy thong is the ultimate in cute! With tiny little glossy straps and one oversized rhinestone embellishment, this flip flop would add a bit of sparkle to shorts, capris, casual skirts and dresses, or jeans. Available in black, white, ivory or coral.
4. Reef "Seaside" Popular Flip-Flop Two Packs
Incredibly popular and reasonably-priced, these Reef sandals come in a wide variety of fun prints and colors. But the best part is, they're sold in two-packs, and each set has two styles, so you get twice the bang for your buck.
5. "Cecil" Embellished Flip Flops from Yellow Box
Perfect for women who like even their most casual shoes to have a certain amount of bling, this fun sandal comes in black, brown or cognac, and features one gigantic rhinestone atop its suede straps -- and contrast stitching for good measure.
MY THOUGHTS
The popular flip flops here not even the list. i wonder why!!!! i think i'll hunt for the reef 2 packs.

Jesus sandals
How to Wear Jesus Sandals For Tourists
By Crystal Robertson

Simple looking sandals are some of the most comfortable shoes you will ever walk in, but sometimes they unfairly get a bad reputation. Some people immediately think of hippies when the term "jesus sandals" is mentioned, and this particular type of footwear is sometimes even described as "shoes or sandals that only tourists will wear".
When you sum up hippie and touristy outfits, they are not exactly at the forefront of the fashion movement or even considered to be within fashion's mainstream consciousness. However, in defense of tourists, they really do a lot of walking. They have to see as much as they can within a short period of time, so their feet and legs take a beating with all the sightseeing that they have to do. Therefore, being fashionably usually is not your foremost priority as a tourist.
Tourists need to wear shoes with proper arch support, shoes that will match with most of the clothes they have packed, and shoes that are not bulky so they will fit in a suitcase.
Now here lies the problem: how is a tourist supposed to wear shoes when traveling without looking like, well, a tourist?
The solution is to pick a pair of athletic and hip looking sandals. Forget plastic, woven, and leather sandals. In contrast to the latter footwear variations, athletic sandals give your feet all the support they need and do not attract the same negative attention. The general public will actually understand why you are wearing athletic sandals, especially if you will be visiting crowded tourist spots and popular tourist magnets. In other words, spend some time picking a pair of athletic sandals that will make you look good when you are out traveling, but a pair that will also take care of your feet.
Now that takes care of your footwear, if you are going to be a tourist any time soon. May we also suggest staying away from t-shirts in loud prints?
