I love flip-flops! Who doesn’t? I know there are anti flip-floppers out there, but I’m definitely not one of them. All my friends and family know how much I love them.
I even wear them in the winter! Yup, I have gone out in flip-flops in the snow (just to get the mail, but still….) I couldn’t even tell you how many pairs of flip flops I own!
I am so ready for spring to be here though so I can start wearing my flip flops all the time!
These were my most favorite flip flops in the world. Crocs Athens. OMG, they were the most comfortable pair of flip flops ever. Like walking on air. I bought them almost 3 years ago and wore them ALL THE TIME.
When we went to Disney World in February, I packed these flip flops and thought that was it. I didn’t need sneakers, because I would wear my Crocs. They were way more comfortable anyway. Heath begged me to please bring my sneakers so I did. Just to please him. But I wasn’t going to wear them.
The first night at our Disney hotel (the FIRST NIGHT!) we were walking around. We had driven into a huge rainstorm (and some tornadoes had been spotted too. Yeah, we were driving around Orlando and I was glued to The Weather Channel on my phone.) So it was wet everywhere. But I didn’t care. I was wearing my flip flops! I was at Disney World!
We were hurrying through the drizzle to the restaurant when I tripped on the sidewalk. It was wet remember! I’m not clumsy or anything….Right Heath? Right?!
I looked down at my beloved Crocs and…BROKE. The thong part had ripped in half. I was devastated. But I kept them on and hobbled around thinking I could make an emergency trip to Walmart for some duct tape or SOMETHING!
When we got back to the hotel room, I figured I couldn’t salvage them. ::tear:: I drove to Walmart around 10 at night to buy some more flip flops. They wouldn’t be my beloved Crocs but I was going to be wearing flip flops in Disney World!
I ended up with a pair of $2.50 Walmart flip flops. Not the best. So I wore my sneakers to the parks.
There was a Crocs Outlet Mall in Orlando but for some reason we never made it there.
I totally should have because when I got back home I found out that Crocs Athens had been DISCONTINUED!!!! I even emailed Crocs to express my disappointment. Now, I’m stuck trolling Ebay, trying to find a pair in my size.

I love flip flops too. I saw Old Navy is having their $1 sale tomorrow. I bet it will be a zoo. I just bought 2 pairs for $5. I like them much more than the Target ones. I was so excited to see your Croc ones, but then kept reading to see they discontinued them. Bummer! I am visiting from New Friend Friday.
Theresa-When I emailed Crocs, they recommended the Crocs "Flip". I think I'm going to buy them and try them out. I'll let you know! 😉
Can't beat cheap flip flops!
I hate to say this but as soon as I saw the wall of Old Navy flip flops I thought "Is she really having a giveaway for $2.50 pair of shoes?"
I'm sorry about your sandals. I know the pain – I once broke my favorite pair in a very similar fashion.
I love the teal ones!
my croc flip flops are currently super glued because I love them so dearly. Mine as well are discontinued and it sucks. Long live the flip flops!

OMG..I am a flip flop lover too!! I wish we really could wear them all year…maybe I should move to the south. I went last year to Old Navy when they were $1, it was packed. It was like they were giving the store away. Go at ur own risk 🙂

That is pretty much all that I wear. Ill have to try the Crocs as my back hurts a lot from wearing flip flops. Hello from the mom loop https://postpartumillness.com/
Oh no I have had that happen to many favorite pairs of flippys as I call them. Another Mom loop Follow Friday!
I hope you find the flip flops you seek. Stopping from Mom Loop to follow.
Stopping by from Mom Loop. I live in my flip flops too! I would be so sad if mine broke 🙁 I'm your newest follower!
I am very excited about tomorrow at Old Navy! I told my husband about it and he said "You don't need flip-flops, you have like 100 pair!" What he doesn't understand is that having a child made my feet a whole size larger. That is something that I never heard about BEFORE I was pregnant. Oh well, small price to pay. 😀
I am a total flip flop lover myself..i never tried the crocs..but guess I can't now.
I do wear reef ones and they are so comfortable…
I will have to check out the old navy sale for sure!
There is a Crocs outlet at The Mills. It is right across the bridge from me, I could go and look there to see if they have them. I have never been in the store because we are not a Croc wearing family.
I'm a flip flop connoisure as well. I think I spelled that wrong. Anyway, I am all about comfly flops. Sorry to hear about your bad flop experience. Hope you find a suitable pair soon.
