Overpriced Shite Flimsy Trendy Footwear
Havaianas.

I'm sorry, people. It doesn't matter if they've got a little rubber logo on them, or that you paid ten quid for them at some wanky boutique. They're flip-flops. They're Hong Kong Thongs. They're fine if you need them to walk on the beach or if you happen to be a porter at a Kowloon fishmarket, but for fuck's sake, no matter how you look at them or how you wear them, they ain't couture. They're vulgar, and they look like shee-it.

If you must be vulgar and look like shee-it, be honest about it and get a pair of seventies-style cheapies from the pound shop, and I'll have a lot more respect for you. Seeing the supposed sartorial saving grace of the word "Havaianas" emblazoned on your footwear makes me want to plant my size 8 #501 "Crazy Horse" textured leather Blundstone, procured by mail at some expense and effort from Sam Bear Disposals in Melbourne, firmly between your pertly clenched arsecheeks.

I got mine cheap of ebay
and because they are made of proper rubber they are far more comfortable, far less damaging to the feet, and far more long lasting than a cheap pair of flip flops.

why do I want flip flops? because I have hot feet and don't want to walk barefoot down the street*

is your real problem with flip flops in general?


*I don't wear them if I have to walk any real distance

Oh God yes
"I paid £20 for a pair of rubber flip flops just because they have a little Brazilian flag on them, look how cool I am!"

You're not cool. You are a bloody idiot.
