Women's sandals and flip-flops

What's the difference between sandals and flip flops?

At first glance, both sandals and flip flops may look the same: summer footwear, light and cool. However, each one has its distinctive characteristics and in Decimas we know that well. Let's delve into it:

• Design and structure: Flip-flops usually have a sole and a strap that passes between the big toe and the next, thus holding the foot. They are ideal for casual occasions and for quick use. The sandals, on the other hand, have a more elaborate structure, with multiple straps that can cross the foot or hold it from the ankle.
• Functionality: While flip flops are perfect for light walking, such as showering at the gym or a quick walk on the beach, sandals offer greater support and are suitable for walking longer distances.
• Estilo: Sandals, due to their more structured design, tend to be seen as more stylized or formal than flip flops, making them ideal for occasions when you want to dress a little more dressed up without sacrificing comfort.

What to do if my flip flops cause chafing?

We've all been through the unpleasant moment when those new flip flops, which we loved in the store, start to cause us chafing. If you find yourself in this situation, don't worry! Here are some tips for you:

• Adapt your feet: Before wearing your flip flops for an extended period of time, wear them at home for short periods of time to get your feet used to it.
• Take care of your feet: Apply moisturizer or petroleum jelly to areas prone to chafing. This will reduce friction.
• Check the size: Make sure your flip flops aren't too big or too small. An inadequate fit can cause chafing.
• Soft materials: In Decimas we offer flip flops with high quality materials that are soft to the touch, which minimize the risk of irritation.

Are there recommended flip flops for the beach or pool?

Of course it is! The flip flops have been designed precisely with those scenarios in mind. When looking for flip flops for the beach or pool, consider the following:

• Water resistance: Make sure that the flip flops are made of materials that are not damaged by constant exposure to water.
• Non-slip sole: Sand and wet floors can be slippery. Look for flip flops with a non-slip sole to prevent falls.
• Easy to clean: Sand and chlorine can be abrasive. Choose flip flops that are easy to wash and maintain.

In Decimas we have a wide variety of flip flops perfect for your days at the beach or pool. With guaranteed quality and attractive designs, you're sure to find the one that best suits you!
