Ralph Wado Emerson wrote,“Life is a journey, not a destination”.It is an overused but simple quote that we buy into, we see the journey to becoming a more sustainable brand a journey that has no final destination. For being on your feet all day long, we think the Chaco Men’s Lowdown Flip Flops are the best pair of super supportive sandals. Throughout five months of testing, these shoes became our go-to for camping, gardening, running errands, and lounging by the pool. While the midsole is EVA foam, the rest of the flip-flop material is a tough and firm rubber that feels extremely durable. We're big fans of the contoured sides and raised heel that provide the perfect amount of arch support. The footbed is firm and rubberized with a sleek arch that allows the shoe to fit well against the bottom of the foot. These shoes are very comfortable when stationary and the arch support feels balanced and uniform. While the sandals didn’t cause any chafing or blisters out of the box, the straps were a bit tight and then loosened up quite a bit after we broke the shoes in. However, the flip-flops run true to size and the footbed and straps should mold to the shape of your foot over time. New for the Women’s 2023 collection is our ‘Earth Series’, x2 flip flops & x2 sliders that use our sugarcane derived EVA foam, RPET toe posts and padded upper straps that are made from a plant-based bio leather. While the sandals are a bit heavier than other flip-flops we tried, the rubber sole feels exceptionally sturdy and the traction on the bottom is ideal for slippery conditions by the pool. After a few weeks of testing this pair, they looked good as new. They're definitely not just a one summer sandal, you'll get years of use out of these as the materials keep year over year. Recycled card is used for hangers and swing tags, which are attached with recycled paperstring. They are small steps towards our longer-term sustainability goal and easier toimplement early on when starting a brand.
The 100% Hemp canvas upper with organic cotton lining felt exceptional against my skin. Hemp has long been one of my favourite plants; I look to incorporate it into as much of my day as possible. Now, in my FoamLife MULLY flip flops, its strength and sustainable durability literally carry me about earth’s surface as I step from one adventure to the next (like this very morning, school drop off to the DIY shop to exchange the wrong size orbital sander paper). This historic announcement had come as welcome news to the often-neglected goofy footed community. A real step in the right direction”.While everyone’s feet are different, a pair of flip-flops with arch support is truly a game-changer for comfort. Keep an eye out for sandals with generous cushioning and a raised heel that creates a ramp to support the shape of the foot for comfort and balance. A high-quality flip-flop will have a sturdy outsole with traction, but the midsole and footbed should also have enough cushioning to cradle the foot for maximum comfort. FoamLife was created by a collective of like-minded friends, creatives, thinkers, makers, and doers. Our story is an unconventional one from the outset… If premium looks, exceptional comfort, and a big focus on sustainability are your things, it’ll do great things for you, too. As soon as I slipped my above average width, average length, fairly low arch feet into the MULLY, the ‘soft to step’ brushed recyclable TPE foam footbed caressed them lovingly and securely, as if whispering ‘welcome home’ to each and every of the 200,000 nerve endings contained on my soles. Are we a sustainable brand? Not yet, but we believe that our path to becoming a more sustainable brand is part of our overall journey.
They say that all change brings opportunity and that pause proved to be just the catalyst of change required for us to collectively envision a fresh and disruptive new footwear brand based on a simple shared idea; This was a competitive test with plenty of flip-flops for both men and women scoring highly. We still like the sandals listed below, but they didn’t make our list above due to some minor issues we noticed during testing.The majority of our Men’s & Women’s collection uses a ‘soft to step’ 15-30% recycled EVA foam on the footbed and outsole. Our Men's Mully and Women's Wahoo styles are made from a brushed recyclable TPE foam, the toe posts are made from recycled plastic bottles (RPET) and the padded upper strap is made from a 100% hemp canvas that is lined with organic cotton for comfort. The whole range is vegan friendly and PVC free. Goofy footers have always stood in the shadows and represented a humble minority compared to their regular footed siblings. With the introduction of this ground-breaking new product, FoamLife are seizing the opportunity to develop flip flops specifically for those who choose to put their right foot forward. As kiters flip flops are an essential item when heading to the beach, during the summer months most of us live in them, the good news is FoamLife have arrived on the market just in time for summer. A stylish take on a timeless classic with an eco twist is what you are getting, available in your local kite stores now and online too, treat your feet and get yourself something a little different, a shade greener and a lot better than that old pair in the cupboard. Offering a versatile assortment is also key to the Women’s collection. Whether that be something to wear to the beach in a bold print or pastel colour like our Zikat-SC & Lixi-SC styles. Or something that looks and feels a little more premium that works from the beach to the bar like our ‘Earth Series’ collection styles, available in flip flop and slider silhouettes.
