we saw these this weekend at travel country outdoors in orlando. although a headlamp might give you better light, these would definitely be more of a conversation piece! just like the reef flip flops with the bottle opener, key holder or flask.
my hubby asked for a pair in brown.

I plan to get these for my husband! He love unquie sandals. He has ones with the bottle opener on the bottom (gross if you ask me) and glf ones with a ball marker and tie. (nother manufacture, sure you may know who) anyway. These will be great for his thing for fun flip flops and will be a must on our camping trips!

Yeah, not so sure how popular they will end up being since you have a valid point on the headlamp. I’ll have to try them and see what may make them better than a headlamp. As far as the sandals go, they are built with a good mix of materials and look to be comfortable but not quite as squishy as the Mush sandal.

These look like ok sandals, and I have many pairs of different tevas, but wouldn’t a headlamp solve this with better light diffusion? I mean, you could even just attach two $2 leds to the sandals with Velcro you already have.

Hey James. Jaime from Teva here…thanks for checking in.

I can honestly say that the inspiration for the illum came from one of our product guys who is an avid surfer. And, while his toe stubbing came from his walks to the point in the early AM; I guarantee there were many midnight toilet stories involved here as well. Since we all know nothing is worse than busting your little pigges on unforgiving terrain, we’re excited to provide a little light to the situation, literally.

Enjoy!

I know, I know… that’s just what they tell me. I was like… OK? But, I think a late-night trip to the loo is really what these will be known for.

I didn’t hear if they will be making a non-LED version of the sandals for 90% of people who will just want a nice sandal. I’m sure they will offer it sans LED.

Early morning surfing dawn patrols? Pleeeeze! Everyone knows these were inspired by a nasty toe stubbing during a late night trip to the campsite vault toilet.
