About the brand

Havaianas is an iconic Brazilian flip-flop brand founded in 1962 by Alpargatas S.A., inspired by traditional Japanese zori sandals. Originally created as affordable footwear for Brazil's working class, Havaianas features a distinctive rice grain-textured rubber sole that pays homage to its Japanese origins. What began as simple blue and white sandals has evolved into a global fashion phenomenon, representing Brazil's vibrant culture and free-spirited lifestyle worldwide. The brand transformed from practical workwear to a coveted fashion accessory through strategic marketing campaigns in the 1990s, positioning itself as both functional and stylish. Today, Havaianas produces over 10 pairs per second, distributing to more than 116 countries globally. The brand embodies Brazilian joie de vivre with its bold statement 'Designed for a free life,' offering hundreds of colorful styles that celebrate individuality, comfort, and the carefree Brazilian beach culture that has captivated international markets.

What people are saying

Influenster

I've been repurchasing Havaianas for over 10 years, and they never disappoint. They last such a long time, even with constant wear, and the quality has been consistently great over the years.

The Strategist

Unlike standard-issued Havaianas, these Havaianas are square-toed rather than round. It 'gives them that grown-woman feel.'

The Cut

I immediately purchased a pair as soon as I got home and have worn them everywhere this summer: to the beach, to the office, to the park, you name it.

Some flip flops need a few wears before they stop chewing up your feet. With Havaianas, I just slip them on and get moving. No weird rubbing or red marks, even after the first long walk in them.

Marie Claire UK

I've had my current favourites—a black, square-toe, slimline style—on the go for more than 3 years, and they're only now, after endless wear, beginning to look a little scruffy. Not bad for £20! They're a classic, seasonal staple that work just as well on the beach as with a linen dress for work, and I'll never not have at least two pairs in my rotation.

Who What Wear

We're seeing the combo everywhere right now—from European women in slouchy low-rise trousers and minimal thong sandals to L.A. locals hitting the farmers market in tailored black pants and classic Havaianas. There's something about this pairing that's both smart and lazy in the most stylish way possible.

Pairs that I've had for a decade, I still love. They just get better with time.

Does the lightweight nature of the shoes detract from the quality, comfort and durability ? Absolutely not. These are great for an afternoon walking around the city, as well as a summer's day walk - like other styles of Havaianas, they're super soft and they easily slide on and off and fit like a (foot) glove !

Each pair has dreamy floral prints and delicate gold bow details that make them feel so elevated for flip-flops. They've been so fun and versatile to wear... That said, one thing I did notice is that they definitely run small.

I love flip flops, and these are the worst flip flops I've ever had on my feet. The most glaring design defect is that the straps are crazy long.

I've been wearing Havaianas faithfully for 15 years; they're the only flip-flops for me! My last two pairs felt loose in the straps, I don't feel as secure in my steps. I really hope the brand reevaluates this.

I tried to love these sandals, but the quality isn't worth the price and they're really flimsy. They are pretty basic and can be bought at Walmart :(
