Really Love My … Rainbow Sandals

09/12/23 | Rainbows, really love my ...

A flip flop?  Yes, but it’s no ordinary flip flop.  For this latest edition of I Really Love My … I am going to explain once again why these leather sandals are a Summer staple and come with my on nearly every trip I go on.  got my first pair life guarding when I was 15 and do not do well in water – i.e. jumping in a pool.  I have tried a few styles and the double width, arch support are my favorite.  They have not been in two many Fashion Friday shoots but they are well traveled and I have mentioned them many times including having to take them off for my post in Indonesia, Flying High on a Bali Swing.

The tag line of the Rainbow Sandals brand is the”World’s best made sandals since 1974.” and while that was before I was born I have been a fan for almost two decades.  I have the Rainbows Sandals logo in my very first blog post (seen here) and then later that same month shared a post dedicated to my favorite flip flop sandal.   This post could arguably one of the longest ever here on Sparkles and Shoes so to cut it down I have priotized and gave myself a cap of only one photo per country.  Take a look with the photos listed alphabetically by country:

That is a dozen shots of my favorite sandals in a dozen countries and I could keep going and going but for now I will call it a day.  See you next week as the I really love my … series continues!

Do you own a pair of rainbow sandals?

    Flip flops are awesome for showing off your pedicure. For me they work well for short to medium distance walking. I bought those rainbow flip flops a while back and they are my beach/pool/ outdoor picnic go to flip flops. For my favorite house dress rainbow flip flops matches perfectly. Still prefer heels but flip flops work for casual events and weekends

    Too funny I love mine too. They are my go to footwear when I know that I have to walk a ton and don’t want blisters or ouchy feet.

    My boyfriend is always making fun of me that they should only be for “casual” outfits but now I get to show him these photos and I can say that I am channeling my Kelly.

    Great photos of all of your travel spots and I guess you can pair them with anything.

    Honestly you always look so cute that half the time I don’t get to your shoes but you sure do pair those with almost every item immaginable.

    Sounds like they are probably one of the first things that goes into your suitcase.

    Yikes, they are world travelers but I guess that is no surprise.

    I wish I could wear them but they don’t hit my arch in just the right spot. I have several friends that swear by them and they can walk for miles in comfort while wearing them.
