Most Expensive Flip-Flops

Flip-flops, or thong sandals, were inspired by traditional Japanese sandals. They were introduced to the Western world via New Zealand in the late 1950s. While most flip-flops are of the cheap, plastic variety, dressier thong sandals are available. The most expensive flip-flops in the world, however, fit neither of those descriptions.

Crystalishious

An exclusive product of trendy clothier Electric Couture, the costly sandals are decorated in a rock n roll theme with guitars, winged hearts and the slogans WILD THING and WALK THIS WAY & ROCK. These flashy flip-flops, created by Crystalishious, are naturally covered in crystals. Of course, it’s the $1,800 price tag that makes them worthy of our attention.

H. Stern

Of course, those aren’t the only expensive flip-flops out there. H. Stern, a jeweler, unveiled a pair of flip-flops in 2004 that sold for $17,000. In fact, if they were sold today, they would most likely sell for even more than the Crystalishious flip-flops. These luxury sandals were made with over 1,500 gold feathers accented with diamonds. Unfortunately, only one pair was ever made. The rest of the line sold for a more pedestrian $2,000 to $3,000.

PechePlatinum

If you prefer a sportier sandal, though, PechePlatinum’s crocodile flip flops may suit you better. Using patent-pending technology and hand-matched crocodile straps, these shoes guarantee maximal comfort. Furthermore, if your conscience won’t allow you to wear a crocodile skin on your foot, PechePlatinum assures us that selling shoes made of crocodiles and donating 5% of the profits to primate-friendly eco-groups somehow helps both the crocs and the monkeys. At $400, these are the most expensive production flip-flops available.

Wear them down on your feet friends,not around your neck! Please look ahead of yourself when walking,not looking and admiring your feet,incase you bump into something,damaging your flipflops and yourself. Happy walking Guys.

The Blue Ones With Gold Feathers Are Okay But The Other Two Are So Ugly ! I Would Never Pay That Much Money For Something That Looks Awful , You Might Aswell Buy A Nice Pair Of Designer Flip-Flops – They Might Even Cost Less !

were do you the see the expensive $$ in theses flip flops? ohh that’s right it is all about the labels personally i can save about $1000 for a pair at the dollar store or the thrift shop and they will have just about the same quality but the thing is that i can’t say ” Ohh well i paid $1000 for theses” yea because you don’t have anything else in your life they you can spend $1000 on…. One more thing is that i can go to walmart buy a pair of plain brown flip flops get a black marker and some stickers and say ” look at my $1000 sandals” anyone can do that… the blue ones look like they are from Walmart or something lol
