You can see Havaianas everywhere: on celebrities strolling the streets of Hollywood, on college kids walking along the beach, on suburban moms...their widespread appeal are due to the fact that they are incredibly comfortable and come in a variety of cool different styles and colours. Havaianas has revolutionized the idea of men's, kids' and women's flip flops.

Havaianas are a style of flip flops that hail from Brazil, where they first became incredibly popular. Developed in 1962, these South American sandals were originally manufactured by hand with natural reed, based on the Zori, a type of Japanese sandal. As their popularity grew, Havaianas were sold in Australian and Asian markets and it became more common to see Havaianas flip flops in US and Canadian stores. Today, Havaianas are sold in over 60 countries worldwide. Havaianas sandals come in a full rainbow of colours, from hot pink to deep turquoise. In addition, Havaianas shoes come in floral, animal prints, cartoon prints and many more – some even have Swarovski crystals on them.

Because they have a thick rubber soul and sturdy, comfortable strap, you can wear them season after season, without worrying that the tread will wear out or the strap will break.

In 1998 Havaianas thongs developed a sandal for the World Cup, which featured a small diamond shaped Brazilian flag on the outside of the straps. Millions of pairs of these Havaianas shoes were sold around the world. In 2006, a new style of Havaianas sandals was released: the all new Havaianas-Slim design was developed, a narrower style.

In 2007, the company opened its distribution centre in Madrid. Today, Havaianas continues to be one of the most popular shoe companies in the world, releasing a number of new styles every year. With prices ranging from under $20 to $98.00, you can easily find a pair of Havaianas that will fit your budget and lifestyle.
