they won't be $12, but those Sanuk ones made from old yoga mats are incredibly comfortable.
Okok so I’m gonna start off with when I was shopping for work shoes... who knew Dr. Scholl’s had shoes? A lot of people probably, but I kinda just assumed they mostly sold inserts and other comfy foot stuff
Anyway I ended up finding really great work shoes from them and on the same trip was looking around for some nice shoes for graduation. I really wanted some heels but, maybe just out of lack of experience and growing up with mostly my dad (do moms teach you how to wear heels??? Is there a secret to it???) I hate wearing them... but I think they’re so cute... it’s frustrating
I did stumble upon these really cute Dr. Scholl’s “Barton” sandal wedges !!! Wedges are so comfy to me and these have a thin padding that makes them soooo easy to walk in. They’re only a 2 inch heel, but they don’t look as stupid as I think some kitten heels or whatever look. I ended up wearing them the whole summer since the tan ones go with everything!!! I’m still young so it’s not like I can afford anything super expensive but for ~40ish dollars (maybe they were on sale for less, can’t remember) these made me feel a little more sophisticated and put together than my usual flip flop/flat sandal/birkenstocks. I’ve only had them for about half a year now so I can’t talk on durability besides the fact that they still look new (as they should after only 6 months lol) but they’re a relatively good investment for a cute spring/summer (and fall/winter in those who don’t have a traditional cold season) staple piece!!
I bought them at a speciality store but they're pretty popular. They're called Sanuk and they're made out of recycled yoga mats.

I got a pair of these when I was in Hawaii (found them at a flea market) and expected them to be just sufficient for the beach. I still have them years later and they’re awesome: OOFOS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IA4XCU8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_pUYLAbXRK42XD
That was actually a lot of fun!
I'm having a hard time answering that cause I don't think my feet would be comfortable for a day of walking in these shoes as they are right now. I've only started wearing these shoes like two days ago too so I think it's still a bit too early to tell. Disclaimer, I'm very used to very soft leather straps versus the stiffer canvas straps that Tevas have. If you have time, I really recommend wearing them around the house and getting a feel for them.
If you don't have time, I recommend Born sandals. I have this one, specifically, that's my summer workhorse. I found it very comfortable out the box and I took it with me on vacation shortly after buying it.
The reason those places call them "sandals" is because flip flops are sandals! But "flip-flop" is such an informal sounding thing and you picked fancy sites.
Check more casual sites. Eg, here's something that looks kinda remotely in the same ballpark on Amazon - "Havaianas Women's Top Tiras Sandal Flip Flop".
They're called flip flops because the lack of support around the heel makes the sole flop around (and sound awful, haha). They only intersect in the sense that the set of all flip flops is a subset of the set of all sandals (which is a totally valid intersection, but also implies that all flip flops are sandals). As an aside, perhaps the strawpoll should have made the mathematical relationship something like F ⊂ S and S ⊄ F.
What about some yoga flip-flops? I'm coveting a pair for myself this summer; I've heard really good things... They even have a gladiator/tie option. It doesn't look like they come in different widths, but never having had narrow feet myself, I honestly don't know how much that matters with sandals!
I really like my Plaka Sandals. They also have a backless flip-flop version which I haven't tried.
These are a lifesaver (maybe literally). In don't slip in them at all. They're great for a public shower. Shower Shoez Women's... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D6D2PV4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I went to Miami Beach this summer and saw so many people with flip flops that had fur on them (like this https://www.amazon.com/Kali-Footwear-Womens-Slide-Slipper/dp/B07BR8DHTX) inexplicably, and I have two issues with that:
You're on the beach, where there is water and sand to get in those and make them matted and disgusting.
And holy fuck were they ugly.
I'm sure it's some designer thing or something, but I stand behind my opinion. They're atrocious looking.
Those Chinese slippers. You know the ones.
What about this sandal by Aldo? That's the closest I can get off the top of my head. I'd also suggest the brand Kelsi Dagger, or checking out pre-owned versions of the Frye ones if you want.
Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!
Here are your smile-ified links:

Floridian here! You'll notice the locals, because they'll be wearing pants.
How heat sensitive are you? If you really don't like the heat, pack lighter fabrics (linens and cotton). An umbrella is a must. I bring mine everywhere everyday during the summer, because it will rain at some point during the day. Costco had great quality at a great price for small umbrellas.
I have a cute rain jacket, but I recommend getting a lightweight one like this.
For shoes, it's a personal preference. I'm fine with dirty wet feet, so I wear flip flops and wash my feet at home. I don't like shoes that keep my feet wet. I also keep a towel in my car to wipe down. These are my go to flip flops for walking. They are so comfortable.
I love my birks. I have one pair of original ones and bought these a few weeks ago and absolutely love them! They're genuine birks, but are made of plastic and are super lightweight yet still supportive. Feels like you are walking on a yoga mat!! And they're like half the price of original ones!

/u/ambiegrace suggested these which are a lot cheaper than the leather version, but still authentic and comfy! I saw her comment after I ordered the ones in my link, but if those work out, I'm seriously contemplating another pair...

Which of these shoes should I get for a graduation party? I'm wearing a navy dress with gold details, so I thought I would go with gold sandals. I also need something that will hold up to a few hours of standing.
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
I’ve been wearing this pair of Tevas, but they do require strapping up:
Teva Women's W Tirra Sport Sandal, https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B071WML5NF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0BEKBbVRA3VAP
My feet haven’t been too picky about support, thank goodness, so the other pair I’ve been wearing are Ocean Pacific flip flops like these but with looser, thicker cloth straps:
Ocean Pacific OP Women's Beachwear Dress Thong Sandal Rhinestone Jewel https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B079QCR3PZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6EEKBbVA2NZR4
I’m a flip flop type of person and loved the oofos on my last trip.

These ones. It's kind of hard to see in the photo but if you look at the various angles, you can kinda see the arch support.
The style is called Prismatic. I found it on Amazon but I don't know your size.
have you tried amazon? Those seem similar to the second photo from what I can tell..
These are the ones I got

>Check more casual sites. Eg, here's something that looks kinda remotely in the same ballpark on Amazon - "Havaianas Women's Top Tiras Sandal Flip Flop".
Lol you linked to a foam flip flop with plastic straps. I'm talking about leather sandals with heels. "Kinda in the same ballpark" 😂 right, dude.
They intersect. The fact that I posted a leather sandal and you responded with "definitely a flip flop" means you don't know what you're talking about, or that I'm correct in stating that there is intersect.
Regardless it's moot because the poll is now about arguing over semantics.
