When I opened up my FLACS Women’s Turbo flip flops to review them, the first thing I noticed was that they’re quite flat. No, not quite flat, they are extremely flat.

Alright, yeah they are sort of definition of casual footwear. Upon arriving in my size I was excited and frankly a bit scared to slip on the classic Reef in tan leather.

Looking back on the great adventures my Olukai Ulele’s and I have had together this summer it’s hard to believe that I was less than excited when they first arrived.

Winter in the Pacific Northwest brings with it a depression born of gray wet days and long soggy nights. Even the slugs seem to have cut out for a dryer scene.

Having spent the majority of my career on the fringe of the fashion industry I’ve learned that there are just a handful of folks who decide what is in fashion and what isn’t.

Even after a long time walking around, these flip flops’ straps didn’t rub against my skin at all, yet they didn’t have the downside of being too loose – no toe curl.
