Sometimes I get bored of wearing the same thing over and over again. Whenever I feel the need to spice things up, the most drastic way is my way to go.This Friday it was international Flip Flop Day. The day to give my feet the well-deserved break they needed from my conventional sneakers. So I went flip-flops all the way. Paired with my Ecco Toffel flops in this dark, almost forest green color, I went to my favorite playground; the concrete jungle.But let’s rewind to the green footwear. People have been wearing flip-flops for thousands of years, with the earliest wearers being the Ancient Egyptians in 4000BC. Since then, the sandals have been worn throughout the world and have become a favorite for people enjoying a relaxing day at the beach or walking around in the sunshine. Flip-flops got their name because of the slapping sound they make against the ground when you walk in them.

I imagine most of us link flip flops to the beach, but in another effort of myself to inspire I took them for a city walk, making this outfit a little less formal.

If you’re tired of keeping your feet in stuffy shoes and need an excuse to expose those toes, flip-flops is your answer.  Although normal flip-flops can be great to wear on a fun casual day out, you need to be careful not to wear them for too long – the lack of support in flip-flops and their thin soles can lead to sore or injured feet. OR go for ones with a comfortable and supporting sole like these ECCO toffel’s. But enough about the flip-flops, what pair of footwear do you need to show some more love?
