Any flip flops comparable to Athens?

[mikkishelles]

I am so distraught that the Crocs Athens have been discontinued! Has anyone found anyone flip flips that are comparable, i.e. good arch, thick foot beds and washable?

I just saw some of these at Bealls down here on sale the other day - here's their website:

but it looks like black is the only color with lots of women's sizes (have to change color to see what sizes in each.) $19.99 (with $4 shipping - ends today).

I have a couple pairs of Athens too, but have fallen in love with these orthotic flip flops from QVC (@ $60 expensive but make my knees feel so much better by aligning my feet):

What is the difference (other than $20) between the Athens and the Capri IV? I can see one!

I think the Athens has the cushiest heel bed of all the flip flips at Crocs and I've been to the store to test many of them out.

I'm also a lover of Athens (and so upset they discontinued it), but the Sanuk yoga mat flip flop can compare to the foot beds. Unfortunately, they have no arch support.

Good luck hunting!

Athens have a toe guard around the front of the flip flop so it's not as easy to get it caught under stuff like doors...

Also, the heel bed is softer than the Capris. It's also wider at the front. But the Capri straps are much more comfortable to wear, imo. I like them both for different reasons.

Thanks, everyone! I have a pair of Crocs Capri, but I don't find them as comfortable as the Athens...guess I will be buying out the eBay listings..LOL..

The Canadian website still have Athens, if you have a relative or friend in Canada that is willing to ship it to you...but the prices are ridiculous and so is the tax.

I love OkaB shoe's. They are my favorite. I have worn them on vacation for the past two years.

I used to wear crocs ....now I wear teva mush flip flops....they are AWESOME..... I never wore crocs athens however.....so I can't compare- but the Tevas have a great footbed that molds to your arch,etc. as comfortable as good sneakers all day long

The Tootsie shoe store in Canada currently has a sale on Athens and Capris ($19.99). I was there yesterday and they had Athens in all black,and grey and pink. Capris were in brown and pink, navy and turquoise, and all black. I picked up the navy and turquoise, but I don't think they are as comfortable as the Athens. I know you can purchase online, but I don't know if they will ship to the US! PS I also picked up a Men's Scute for Dh for father's Day!
