FAQs

Are these flip-flops suitable for men and women?

While marketed towards men, the Urban Basic Material flip-flops feature a versatile design and neutral colors that can be suitable for anyone seeking comfortable, casual footwear.

What is the main difference between these and classic Havaianas?

The Urban Basic Material features wider fabric straps made from cotton and a sturdier sole that incorporates recycled rubber, offering a more substantial and durable feel compared to the classic, thinner rubber models.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Havaianas or consult your usual shoe size. The provided information indicates UK 7.5 for this specific model.

Can I wear these for showering or in the pool?

The rubber sole is water-resistant, making them suitable for use around pools or in damp environments. However, prolonged submersion is not recommended, and they should be dried properly afterward.

How much recycled material is used in these flip-flops?

The straps are made with 41% recycled cotton, and the sole incorporates 11% recycled expanded rubber waste.

What should I do if the cotton straps get dirty?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the straps. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

Are these flip-flops good for long walks?

Yes, their lightweight construction and comfortable, wider straps are designed for extended wear, making them suitable for longer periods on your feet during casual outings.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel slightly loose or tight initially

The cotton straps may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If they consistently feel too loose or tight, consider if the size is appropriate.

Soles feel stiff compared to classic Havaianas

The Urban Basic Material features a sturdier sole for added durability. This slight increase in rigidity offers more support and wear resistance. It should soften slightly with use.

Discoloration after exposure to elements

Ensure the flip-flops are dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct sun. Prolonged sun exposure can cause fading or discoloration. Avoid harsh chemicals during cleaning.
