The Best Basic Black Flip Flops

There are many summer staples out there that we don't give much thought about...we just know we need them.  If you are anything like the rest of us, as soon as the temp goes above 60 degrees, we quickly purchase ourselves a fresh pair of black flip flops.  These are an essential for the pool, beach, quick trips to the farmers market, or even just lounging in the backyard while your hubby flips burgers on the grill.  At a recent outdoor event, we asked dozens of people what brand they were wearing and why they loved them.  Below were the most worn styles and some honest feedback from our fellow Mavi Bandz customers:

This is the most basic and affordable flip flop - most women have at least one pair.  With the killer cost, it is no wonder that this is probably the most popular style we found.  Most customers were never disappointed and loved that they are also carried in a variety of bold, summer colors.  These are long lasting and a staple in your closet.  Because of the great price, pick up a few extra pairs to keep in your beach bag, car, or gym bag!
