28 Innovative Flip-Flops

From Transformer Sandals to Gladiator Mandals

— August 31, 2009 — Fashion
With the last days of summer upon us and smells of fall beginning to permeate the air, we're reminded that sandals will sadly not suffice in the nippier months ahead. On this final day of August, we're bidding flip-flops a stylish adieu before replacing them with cozy autumn boots (also not a hardship). This cluster features some of the most innovative flip-flops on Trend Hunter, from gladiator mandals to wedding flip-flops.

Implications - Flip-flops are just one of those objects that you might not initially think there is a great deal of innovation. You certainly will be blown away with this 28 innovative flip-flop cluster.
