Elddos truly revolutionized the conventional flip-flop design by creating a quirky and fun alternative that is not only summer-ready but also able to bring a smile to one's face. The Toronto-based collective that began the Kickstarter campaign for the eccentric beach sandals works closely with family businesses in the Philippines that specialize in this field of manufacturing. The puzzle-like construction of the flip-flop designs is created to be durable, flexible and lightweight. The material used in the flip-flop designs is ethylene vinyl acetate.
The adorable beach footwear is perfect for kids and grown-ups who embrace carefree and silly styles. The flip-flop designs range from sharks and Nemo-inspired fish to smiling sea stars and penguins. Available in a range of sizes, the Elddos flip-flop designs are perfect for the beach or the pool.
