These Travel Sandals Are the Definition of Fashionably Functional

True travelers will know that flip flops are cute, but not always the most dependable type of travel sandals. But what if there were a sandal that mixed a stylish thong with a comfortable sole, and secure grip, for the ultimate fashionably functional flip flop?

The good news is that such a sandal exists! Cue The Nimahtravel sandals from Bionica Footwear! I received tons of comments and questions about these trendy sandals while traveling around in the Philippines in regard to where I found a sandal that was cute, comfortable, and water-friendly!

It’s really hard to find a thong-sandal that both looks stylish and provides the support and comfort you need when traveling, but these shoes have it all! Here’s a few reasons why I love them!

Stylish Patterns That Compliment Any Outfit

The colorful, trendy boho patterns on the thong of the Nimah sandals are always in when you’re traveling. They scream, “I love going to cultural, tropical, chill places!”, and can fit with or add to any outfit! 

The various colors in the design make them pop with anything you wear and will leave people wondering where you got them! I also love the two-strap design that offers a more unique look than just one thick strap! Speaking of which…

Comfortable, Supportive, Non-Flip-Flopping-Straps

Typical flip flops will smack against the bottom of your foot due to the flimsiness of the straps and thinness of the soles, but the Nimah travel sandals will not! That’s because the sturdiness of the straps fit snugly on your feet, without moving around and causing any discomfort or annoying “flip flop” sounds.

The thong part of the sandal is wrapped in a soft material that won’t irritate the space between your toes, even when it gets wet (Note: Depends on your toe-sensitivity)! Since there’s no flipping and flopping motion, and the straps stay with your feet as you walk, climb, or run, there’s less of a chance for that annoying rubbing between your toes or top of your foot!

Easy to Slip On, But Actually Stay On

When I think of typical flip flops, I imagine them getting flung around when I try to put them on or take them off. What’s great about the Nimah travel sandals is that they’re easy to slip on with their thong-design, but actually stay on because of the non-slip grip material of the soles and stability of the straps.

Your feet will literally stay in these sandals ten times better than a typical sandal, saving you stress, discomfort, and annoyance! They even stayed on when I wore them in the water at the beach and at a waterfall! Which brings me to my next point…

Water Resistant and Non-Slip

You know that squeaky sound you hear with regular rubber flip slops? Or perhaps that never-fully-dried feeling of cloth, straw, or leather-soled sandals? None of that exists with the Nimah travel sandal! 

Since the straps are secure, and the footbed is high quality rubber material, there’s no chance for that annoying squeaky noise. And since the footbed is all rubber, it makes it all waterproof! The straps are quick drying as well even though the patterned part is made of stitching.

Comfortable and Safe for Any Terrain (Besides Snow)

As someone who is very guilty of hiking mountains in flip-flops and never wearing shoes in water or while chasing waterfalls, I can confidently say that these Nimah travel sandals are a game changer for comfort.

Someone literally noticed me hopping along the sharp, rocky shore of an island in Philippines, and asked about my shoes, because you could tell I couldn’t feel the discomfort beneath my soles. Since both safety and comfort are crucial for us explorers, these travel sandals are basically a necessity. 

So if you’re tired of typical flimsy flip flops, and looking for some travel sandals that fit all the necessary travel requirements, check out the Nimah’s on Bionica.com!
