Hello Kitty Flip Flops

There is something you may not know about those ubiquitous rubber-soled flip flops that emerge from millions of closets each summer. Also known as 'jandals' or slippers, this footwear dates back more than 6,000 years, although the term 'flip flop' is actually a trademarked name belonging to a German manufacturing company.

The Egyptians, especially the members of the royal and privileged classes, took great pride in their thong-style shoes. Upper-class Egyptian women adorned their sandals with jewelry, while the Pharaoh wore sandals that curved up more than those of commoners. We know about Egyptian flip flops from ancient cave paintings. Many other early civilizations also used their footwear, including flip flops, to signify class status.

While flip flops are now so common that they do not represent levels of social status, they can still be used to show flair, fun, and style. No flip flops say that better than Hello Kitty flip flops.

The Hello Kitty flip flops with hearts are great for young girls. The soft EVA sole is comfy on the feet and perfect for wearing all day. These flip flops are decorated with Hello Kitty graphics and a sequined flower and of course they are colored hot pink on the edges and available in either a soft or hot pink footbed. Cleaning these are easy as it only requires a wipe with a damp cloth.

For us grown up girls, Sanrio has created gorgeous metallic Hello Kitty flip flops. These are adorned with hundreds of authentic Swarovski crystals that decorate the Hello Kitty faces on top of the thongs. Adding to the style of these is the fact that the Swarovski crystals are not a flat, clear color, rather they have reflective properties that create colorful reflections from different sources and angles of light. These are so pretty that you will be tempted to want to wear them with more formal attire than what we usually associate with the wearing of flip flops.
