It looks like the humble flip-flop is making a stylish comeback, especially among celebrities. Kim Kardashian’s thong sandals are currently all the rage and surprisingly easy to imitate.
On December 8, the 43-year-old reality star was spotted strolling around Los Angeles wearing the standard uniform that celebrities use when they want to avoid attention: sweats, baseball cap, sunglasses, and of course, a super comfortable pair of shoes. Kardashian opted for an all-black outfit, except for a pair of camouflage patterned sunnies. She thought she could blend in, but she managed to stand out anyway.
Was it the fact that she was carrying two iPhones and an obviously empty coffee cup? Or maybe it was the Balenciaga flip-flops, costing a whopping $450? Yes, you read that right, $450 for a pair of flip-flops.
If you’re eyeing these designer flip-flops, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that they’re not available on the Balenciaga website. The good news is that you can find a used pair on Poshmark for $250. Although, I cannot guarantee their authenticity. Alternatively, you could opt for a more budget-friendly version, such as disposable pedicure sandals that look strikingly similar to Kardashian’s pricey pair. You can even find them for as little as $13 online.
