Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the term flip flop was used for flat sandals with no back that create that 'flip flop' sound when you walk. I can't see much flipping and flapping with this pair from Faith but that wouldn't stop me wearing what is essentially a pretty pair of shoes. Dubbed 'Jarb' and costing £22, they have a touch of the gladiator to them and if lilac just isn't your colour they also come in a beige snakeskin and a clear/black mix.
