Flip Flops/Sandals & Sunglasses

Whatever's comfortable and matches when it comes to the flip flops. But definitely not the the ones with the bottle opener on the bottom. (The thought of dog shit and beer is not appealing) For my shades I've been wearing Wiley X safety glasses for boating. They offer a special color UV tint that works great for me on the water and clear lenses for night time boating. With the foam goggle inserts, my eyes are protect really well from bugs when I'm boating at night
 
Reef or rainbow sandals. Hobbie (like the boat) shades. Been wearing the hobies for 10 years. They are cheap and have excellent polarized lenses. The Oakley are stupid expensive. I use these for wakeboarding and jet ski because they float. Fiore Polarized Floating Sunglasses for Fishing, Boating and Water Activities (Solid Tortoise) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RWIM218/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kRm.ybXGAK5KQ
They fit well and have decent lenses. I've used the floating bomber glasses, but I can't find a model that has good wind protection and doesn't pinch my head.
 
Costas are the best, I have 4 pairs. I rotate them back to Costa for refurbishment. Their warranty is great and they stand behind their product. Barefoot, "toes in the sand".
 
Prescription sunglasses from Wal-Mart and a pair of sandals from Fleet Farm.
 
As luck would have it, my DC's tore last night after 3 faithful years. Ordered another pair, but also a pair of Olukais after all the recommendations in here.
 
Costa's with the 580G lenses for me with a cablz -have had them for 7 years and just sent them back to get the nose piece fixed - they look brand new now. They are the best on the coastal waters for seeing through the water that I have ever tried - when you spend time in the gulf bays that are shallow they have saved me more then once from running aground.

I won't be caught dead in flip-flops - I only wear sperry's or go barefoot :).
 
I recommend staying away from the Crocs. ;)
