You guyssssss, flip-flops are having a moment (or they’re about to). We’re elated to realize this because, well, they’re the freaking easiest. As in — dare we say it — the easiest summer shoe ever? I mean, the whole slip-on/slip-off thing is hard to beat.

Whether you’re planning lots of beach days, or you’re in need of some chic, easy shoes to pair with your cutoff shorts or breezy dresses, flip-flops are going to be everywhere this summer. In a cool kinda way.

We had to do some serious research (aka a weighty, momentous Zoom call picking apart poor, defenseless flip-flop styles) in order to pare down THE shoes of summer 2023. It’s pretty obvious that flip-flops are high up on the trends list for the upcoming months where those pretty pedicures are on full display. Hallelujah.

Flip-Flops Are Summer’s “It” Shoe: Our Top 10, Ft. OluKai, Havaianas & More

Where did this oh-so-serious research stem from, you may wonder? Nordstrom was the first site to pique our interest. It has such a good selection if you want more shoes than you knew were possible to sift through. Other great retailers that seem to have The Shoe Of The Summer all stocked up? Saks, Bloomingdales and probably Amazon are your best options.

If you don’t want to make it your life’s mission to go through pages and pages, we obviously did the grunt work for you. Here are our top 10:
