I first heard about switch flops about 8 years ago. I was planning a trip and literally couldn't pack a bunch of shoes and was desperate to find a shoe that went with everything. Enter Lindsay Phillips Switch Flops. They are flip flops that have interchangeable straps. The straps are sold seperately but they come with straps with the shoe too. When you buy a strap its literally vercro and comes off and change the strap out to a different colour and voila! A different shoe! The straps take up less space than socks. Flip flops for women, men and kids and thats not all! Other shoes with interchangeable snaps! One pair of flip flops and many looks! I still have my original pair of wedge flips flops that are 8 years old! Straps can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water.
