Its just inevitable, if you’re outside, the dirt will follow. Im a flip flop girl as well, growing up in Florida, thats all i wore. And till this day I still love them.
Magic erasers are great. I also have tried an old tooth brush with some soap, works great too. I guess just try to wash them often, throw em in the tub of soapy water.

Yes they can be very naughty.
They need a sensible pump or loafer to chaperone them.

1— put on flip flops
2— slip feet into plastic bags
3— wrap duct tape around your ankles. It comes in many colors so you can match it to your outfit.

I guarantee your flip flops stay clean

I don’t think there is any way to avoid it… just clean them or replace them often.

Get a pair of black ones?

@A_Beaverhausen I think it will definately look better than the flip flop/ leg warmer trend started by abercrombie.

Buy flip flops that have black foot prints as a design.

@AtSeDaEsEpPoAoSnA thats such a good idea! we should create them! i bet everyone would lurve them!

..They would need a name. Catchy, composed, and inexpensive.

Keep your flippie floppies clean by only wearing them on a boat. (Nautical themed pashmina afghan optional).
