In the summertime classic song “Margaritaville” by American songwriter Jimmy Buffet, He states:
I blew out my flip flop – and stepped on a pop top
Lucky for Mr. Buffet, flip flops are still an amazingly popular shoe for the beach, so finding a new one should help him avoid those beach-related injuries!
Why would a shoe so simple and basic be immortalized in song? Well, in the case of the flip flop, there is more than just Jimmy Buffet in love with how this shoe can unobtrusively protect and serve. Flip flops are a cheap and effective way to protect yourself not only from things that cut (like Buffet’s pop top), but flip flops help keep your feet’s soles from the hot sand. Considering you can often pick these up for next to nothing in any tourist town, it is no wonder they became part of Buffet’s lyrics.
Flip flops today come in a much wider variety of styles and colors than they did in years past. This is great for the beach visitor who is coordinating their “look” as well as for people who want to enjoy the ease and comfort of flip flops during everyday activities.
Definitely a casual look, these open-toed shoes are common in almost any summer setting. With their affordable pricing, availability, range of style and colors, and the different materials you can choose to find the right feel, flip flops may have come a long way since Jimmy Buffet sang about them in the 70s – but they are no less popular an option today.
