I am a flop-natic and these are some of the absolute best I've ever worn. They feel like soft pillows and warm velvet. I feel like I'm flying when I wear them.

All About The Riverside

Austin has beautiful weather about 8 months out of the year. But for 4 (sometimes 5) months, it can be hellishly hot. Soul-crushingly hot. Luckily, it also has plenty of places to cool off: lakes, rivers, swimming holes (for swimming), watering holes (for boozing), shady trails, and more.

The footwear of choice for the blistering months (and most other months) is the flip-flop. As all locals know, having the wind on your toes makes it feel 10 degrees cooler. You can wear flip-flops pretty much anywhere and not feel out of place. The nicest restaurant in town. College graduation. A board meeting. Your arraignment for that little misunderstanding down on 6th Street about the legality of pedicab surfing.

Alvies flip-flops are meant to bring the Austin vibe to anywhere in the world. They’re made with premium leather so they look and feel great all day, no matter where they take you. And they’re built to last through countless float trips, music festivals, hikes, and nights out.

Military-grade waterproofing

We got tired of leather flops that felt like sponges after a day on the river, so we went overboard (no pun intended) and made ours out of military-grade waterproof leather.

Fast Break-In Fit

There’s no break-in time on these flops. They’re comfortable enough for a full day of wear right out of the box. A few days in they’ll mold to your feet and get even comfier.

Built to last

How long will Alvies flops last? You’ll probably have to worry about replacing them because they were thieved at a pool party long before they wear out on you.

Better than Rainbow flops!
I love Rainbow flip flops but I hate how my feet slide around on the soles. Alvies have a similar look but they are so much better. First, no slipping! Second, they are incredibly comfortable. I have bad plantar fasciitis and I have no problem wearing these all day to walk around. I am so excited to have found a cute pair of leather flip flops that are also comfortable. Finally “leather” and “comfortable” in describing sandals are no longer mutually exclusive!

More feminine than I expected!
I was worried these would just be a smaller version of the men's flops, but by some design magic, they look really cute and feminine on. Plus they're really comfortable.

Buy them!
LOVE THEM!!!!
I always wear an 8.5. Ordered a 9. Got them and they were too tight and I was SO SAD because I wanted these to fit so badly!
I went to their website to check reviews to see what others said and saw someone review with the same complaint but also saw Alvies respond saying “wear them to try and break them in and if they’re still too tight, return them for free”.
How awesome is that?!
So I did just that! I wore them around for a few days, and wouldn’t you know, they broke in and now I won’t take them off.
They are so comfortable.
Definitely waterproof.
I have been telling everyone to buy them!
100% recommend!!!

Ok. Wish they were great
Very well made. Shipping was fast but they are tight. I’m hoping since they are leather they will loosen up a bit. I wear a size 10.5 so I bought the 11, but not a true size 11, they are too small. I wish there was a size 12. I will keep them and hopefully I can wear them cause I really wanna love them .

Thanks for taking the time to write a review! The flops should absolutely loosen up as you wear them a bit. The footbed will start to form to your foot and as your foot sinks in the strap will loosen just enough. If that doesn't happen, you can return them for free.

Comfortable and Hold Up
I bought these for my wife and she loves them. She is hard to shop for but after seeing these advertised, she mentioned wanting a pair so I ordered them as a surprise. She wears them with jeans, on our boat, and running errands. She loves the neutral color and low platform and they look new even though she's already worn them a lot. Great buy for her and brownie points for me! lol
