When I first heard about Havaianas I was like “Who would want to pay that much for that? They’re rubber slippers…” I meant that you can find rubber slippers in the market. But that was before… like what I’ve mentioned in one of my posts, my cousin gave me a pair of Havaianas and I’m totally in love with it now! Haha!

Side kwento: I remember when buddy bags were just new, my best friends Jing and Dahl and I hated it. Then one day Dahl came to our house wearing one and we laughed at her. Then to my surprise, my dad gave me an expensive leather one that’s made in Italy. Now who would resist that? And yep, I fell in love with it too, just like my Havaianas. Haha!

So anyway, back to my rubber slippers, I wore it for the first time when I went to AA’s house on his birthday. It was raining and thought I’d just wear slippers so I don’t have to worry about getting my feet wet, bahala na kung madulas ako. To my surprise, I didn’t slip! So, okay… maybe I just didn’t encounter one of those slippery floors. Then last month, I went to Batangas and Mindoro with my relatives. I bought my Havaianas flip-flops and my newly bought Merell sandals. And comparing both, the Merell sandals are a little slippery when I went inside the house after taking a dip in the ocean and the flip flops aren’t slippery at all. In fact, I tested it as much as I could… I wore it on the boat going to Mindoro, going swimming on the beach and on the pool, going to the market, walking on the rocky shore, etc. and I didn’t slip, not a single time! This is why I fell in love with it and now I want more! Haha!

I browsed the Havaianas stores online and here’s what’s on my wishlist:

High Light Dark Brown/Golden Sun | Flash Urban Fresh Carmine Red

And this… I want! If only I could, I would return my Merell sandals in the store for a pair of this. It’s just unfair because there’s no version for women. It’s such a shame because it’d be perfect for my adventures, outdooor trips, travels, European cruises, etc. Haha! And I have to see it first in the stores here in Manila because the back sling looks a bit off on some the photos that I’ve seen on the net.
