What are your favorites flip flops/sandals and sunglasses?

Olukai Flip Flops/Sandals are the most comfortable I have ever owned, bought my 1st pair in Hawaii 4 years ago, a bit expensive but they are awesome.

Oakley Sunglasses, I have been wearing them since the 80's.

I just bought my first pair of OluKai's and I love them! So awesome.

I have Oakley's also since I receive them very cheap from Standard Issue. I also use Hypoxia Bamboo sunglasses since they are polarized and they float if I drop them. I rolled my jet ski and they where floating right next to me.
 
I like my DC slides and my Oakleys. Although I'm probably grabbing a pair of Costas to test drive for the spring.
 
That is kind of a loaded question and it depends on the activity. I discovered the Olukai brand while shopping for new house shoes at the LLbean flagship store in Freeport Maine. Loved the drop in heel and they have been the most comfortable house shoe I have ever owned so I will be buying some of their casual sandals and shoes. I have always loved Oakley for cycling/running sunglasses but I find my Maui Jims more comfortable. As a weird turn I think that Oakley makes a fabulous sport thong sandal. I have a few pairs of the same Maui Jim sunglasses and Oakley Sandals because I love them so much.

Don't know what it is about Hawaiian Brands (Olukai, Maui Jim) but they sure do make some comfortable and quality stuff.
 
I will have to check out the Costa Sunglasses, seems pretty popular so far along with Oakley's.
 
Costa del Mar are the absolute best - especially the glass lenses.well worth the expense.
 
Well I'm not super sure Hypoxia is really around any more. But Woodroze are another Bamboo and other Wooden sunglass MFG and are super rad people I met and dove with in S. FLA.

Here is an idea what thy look like. Super lightweight and I think comfortable.

Nike slippers (no strap between the toes) and memory foam for the bottom of my feet.

Used to wear Oakley sunglasses all the time until I started losing them to the river gods while jet skiing. Now I wear prescription glasses that self tint on a daily basis and tinted saftley glasses ($12 a pair with side coverage) while jet skiing.
 
The frame on My costa cuts just cracked this winter. Had them 5 years. Sent them back and they replaced the frame under warranty. Great company that stands by their product.
 
Oakley sandals and shades. Bought my sandals in GA about 8 years ago and still love them. The only other ones I've liked are Reef (bottle opener on the bottom). For sunglasses, all Oakley. Every pair I have is custom painted.
 
I bought my wife a pair of reefs with compartments hidden in each heel to hold credit / debit cards or cash. I wonder what other features they offer.

Here is a pic of my favorite slippers (under armour not Nike which wore out after five years or so).

Also, I'm surprised no one has mentioned crocks. Hideous looking but very comfortable too me anyway, especially after a day in snowboard boots, work shoes or just about anything else.

The worst footwear I have has to be water shoes for boating/jet skiing. Better than nothing but almost no padding or cushion at all.

Reef sandals have been my choice for years. Good support. I can run in them if needed. Some even have a bottle opener built into the sole. Always be prepared.
 
Maui Jim for sunglasses, hands down. I have Ray Ban's and Oakley's that I love, but the Maui Jim lens are the best out

For Flip Flops, I love my leather Rainbow Sandals
I'm also addicted to wearing crocs, even though they're the must ugly footwear known to man, they're just so comfortable

Costa del Mar sunglasses with glass lenses and Reef flip flops with the bottle opener in the sole. Used to wear Oakley shades till I started having problems with the film on the lenses peeling off and they wouldn't warranty them. I had one of the arms on my Costas break and I sent them in and both arms were replaced for about $11 plus shipping. I've go Costa t-shirts and hats too. Quality stuff.
