What's so special about Havaianas flip-flops?

Ok, so everyone raves about Havaianas and how awesome they are. But is it just that they're fashionable or is there really a difference, something special about them which other flip-flops don't have?

What's so special about Havaianas flip-flops?
I got a pair while I was in Brazil. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. They're the most comfortable flipflops I've ever worn besides the hand-made ones you can get in the Caribbean and they're not made of leather.





And I don't know how much they cost in the US, but they were pretty cheap. So... if you're cheap and animal-friendly, then you've got something to be impressed by. Raving though? Probably not.

Reply:It's a brand name and everyone loves brand names,especially surf brands.It's cool to own something with a brand name.


I personally think they are more comfy than your average flip-flop but I do own non-havi flip-flops though cause they are alot cheaper and some look just as cool.Some cheap flip-flops even last just as long as your Havianas.


I guess it's just what you want.Definate rising of the scale in the cool-factor or taking a couple of risks that could end up with you looking cool and saving a few dollars.

Reply:nup, probably even made in the same factory as all the other flip-flops. i dont have havainas and i was just wearing normal black flip flops and the only difference is that there was no havvianas written on it and a friend was like, "wtf why are you wearing THOSE they arent havainanas!!!, people are gonna think your poor or sumthing" you cant even freeking tell the difference unless you read what it says, and do people really go around reading the 'haviana' word on things? nope... :)
Reply:They're definetly cooler =]
