Sandal of the Summer: FunkyMonkey Comfort Slides

Carrie’s Review

Each year as the weather turns to summer and the temperatures begin to rise I am on the hunt for those simple summer pleasures – a frozen lemonade, a burger on the grill and a shoe that fits my casual days.

This year I’m loving these fun FUNKYMONKEY Comfort Slides that I got off Amazon!  They are super affordable and come in sooo many fun colors, styles, and patterns.  Not just affordable and cute, but comfortable, with a footbed that mimics a Birkenstock.  They are lightweight and waterproof (great for doing yardwork in then doing a quick rinse with the hose).

I chose a pattern that brings me back to my days growing up in Hawaii – the pattern, an ocean blue background with a fitting Hawaiian print seemed just right during these COVID days, when my only opportunity for a return to Hawaii is in my dreams.

I’m wearing these with shorts and t-shirts as part of my WFH uniform, but they are nice enough that I also pair them with a summer skirt and tee to wear while we pick up summer restaurant takeout orders!   

Take a look at a few combinations of how I am wearing these slides.

Caitlin’s Review

Funny story, my mom Carrie, called me up the other day and was like “I have found these awesome FunkyMonkey shoes on Amazon. They are a killer deal. You should go get some”. She the sends me the photo of said shoes.

A few days later I go to buy those shoes and I am shocked at how many colors are available. As I am looking through all the options, I have a really hard time deciding what color to pick out, but the one thing I tried to do was get a different color than my mom. Anyways, after about an hour of scrolling through all the options, and I’m not kidding there are 39 different options, I finally settle on some beautiful blue tropical shoes.

When they get here, I immediately tried them on and was amazed at how comfortable they are. I must admit they were squishier than I expected, since I sort of expected a firm sole to the shoe, but they are super comfortable. As I went out to our pool for the first time in my new shoes, I snapped a picture and texted it to my mom. Turns our I had ordered the exact same color that she had so now we are twinning from afar!!

Moral of the story is the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and these shoes are as comfortable as they are affordable. I will be buying more.
