dupe brand flip flops

I mentioned them in my trip report. Does anyone know where to get these in the US, particularly in the MPLS area?

Sue.... Those sound very similar to a pair of Nike flip-flops I bought last year in Mass. They're spongey on the bottom and the top that goes across your foot is spongey too. Very light and comfy but quite durable. I absolutely LIVE in them!

Just today at work I received delivery of a pair that I bought online from Nike. Go to Nike [dot] com. Click on women's outdoor footwear, then sandals. This pair is called Celso. I tried to do a link for ya but it wouldn't work. They're $20 plus $7 shipping but worth it. Funky red/orange color too!

Aren't they??!! If they had them in another color other than a white sole (can't imagine how dirty THAT would get in no time at all - ugh), I would've bought more. They are sooo light and soooo comfortable. I wore them last August all over Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure for 4 straight days and I think I wore them day and night our last two trips to Playa. To clean 'em up, I just use a little dishwashing detergent and a nail brush, give 'em a good scrub, and they're just like new. LOVE 'EM!

If you're a half-size, order up. I'm an 8.5, but I got a 9.

EDIT: Just checked the site. They don't have 9's any longer. If you're an 8 or smaller, I'd order soon. Looks like their stock is running out. They also don't show the white/pink one they had earlier in the week.

I just had a laugh to myself. I went to a wedding last year and my boss's wife showed me her new purse. I said it was 'so cute'. Joe says "Why do women describe everything as cute?" Why do we?

I dunno. My friend's former boyfriend used to get annoyed because we used the word "cute" to describe things that are...adorable, sweet, pretty, attractive, delightful, charming, endearing, sweet? I got these words from the synonym list on Word

Did you get a pair of the low-heel sandals? They are so "cute." I want some in red.

FANTASTIC that you ordered them!!! my pop has been wearing havaianas for years....! they rock!

keep in mind if you have a really high arch....don't wear thongs all day every day....your arch can actually 'fall'....and its painful....trust me i know...

but wearing these comfi thongs is like walking on butter....NOT MARGARINE
