About the brand

TKEES was co-founded in 2009 by husband and wife duo Carly and Jesse Burnett after their search for the perfect barely-there flip flop that was both accessible and responsibly produced. What began as a simple need evolved into a global fashion phenomenon, with the now-iconic Lily sandal launching in five nude shades and setting the foundation for future collections of timeless wardrobe staples. The Canadian brand is renowned for its minimalist approach to fashion, creating effortless sandals that 'disappear' on the wearer and are branded as 'cosmetics for your feet.' Made in Brazil from luxe leather, TKEES prioritizes quality over quantity with a season-less design philosophy that reduces waste. The brand has expanded beyond its original footwear focus to include loungewear and basics, all maintaining the same commitment to functionality and timeless design. Today, TKEES can be found in over 1,000 stores globally and has been embraced by celebrities and fashion enthusiasts worldwide.

New York Magazine

The Lilys from TKEES are everything Ruby Buddemeyer, director of copy and concept at Starface, wants in a sandal: low-profile, not loud, easy to throw on. And while the sandals have a thin silhouette, there's some cushioning in the sole — and, importantly, no break-in time.

I've owned a lot of sandals in my life and these are made to last, the quality and versatility is totally worth it meaning you won't have to replace yours for years. I used to replace my flip flops and slides after every summer or two and these aren't even close to needing to be replaced.

I have their classic leather flip flops and I LOVE them. They're so well made and very comfortable. Timeless design and incredibly chic - I wear them to the pool / around the hour / on vacation all the time!

I basically live in sandals year round and Tkees are one of my most worn brands. These aren't made of leather but are affordable and cute. It's a good pool sandal or travel sandal imo because it can get wet and doesn't look too sporty.

I love tkees and find them super chic and comfortable. The main thing for me is only buy the styles made in leather as anything synthetic ends up hurting my feet.

Overall, TKEES makes a good effort to combine classy and comfort into everyday essential wear. While their price points are a bit on the higher end, their classically simple retail line is fairly diverse.

We will say that because they are so flat, and therefore easy to pack, they lack arch support and an overly plushy footbed, which flip flop devotees may want... They also seem to run about a half-size too small, so we'd suggest sizing up.

This category is difficult to effectively determine due to lack of transparency regarding materials sourcing and manufacturing.

Very poorly made. The piece between the toes slipped off so it doesn't stay in place. The sample is slippery so it's a weird fit. I would not recommend these at all.

The top toe strap is too loose & second strap is too tight, which is odd. I don't have a wide foot, so they definitely won't work if you do. These also off because they're too narrow & reeeally flat (like the rest, idk why I'm surprised by the lack of support).

I have no idea who actually can fit into these shoes. I have narrow feet, and I cannot even slip these on. The pair I received also looked to be poorly constructed.

The shoes are very narrow and not that long, I found they fit more like a 5.5 vs a 6.0.
