Today, we’re not just be saying TGIF. There’s another reason to celebrate on Friday, and it has to do with shoes. Now that we’ve grabbed your attention…

Friday is Flip-Flop Day! Celebrate by wearing or shopping for your favorite pair and exposing those toes for summer. (Pedicures today, anyone?). This fun “holiday” was founded by Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Walk into any of their locations today flaunting your flip-flops and get a free smoothie! Tropical Smoothie Cafe will also use Flip-Flop Day to raise money for Sunrise Day Camp, a summer camp offering support for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Head over to Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s website to donate. A philanthropic reason to wear comfy shoes we love? We’re in.

Just in time for the big day,  we’ve rounded up the best flip flops we could find for the season. Check out or picks and enjoy your excuse to wear arguably the best kind of footwear ever.

We like this pair’s interesting criss-cross action, and on top of that, they are sooo comfortable.
