I do love the range of absolute bargain shoes you can pick up from supermarkets these days! This particular pair were a spur of the moment purchase in Tesco recently where I paid £6 for these very pretty and quite fashionable beaded flip flops.

Although they are flip-flops in style they actually have a much wider top piece than a standard pair where you usually only have two, fairly thin bits of material. The triangular shaped top section sits over the top of your foot and this is where all the pretty beading is. The design works very well and I have had no issues with rubbing in this pair.

The sizes are not individual in this range and the pair I bought are a UK 5-6. I am usually a size 6 but these fit absolutely fine, the rough sizing does not seem to be an issue here. The toe bar is a sturdy plastic type of substance but it does not rub either so all in all this is a very comfortable pair of flip flips at a fantastic price.

My only gripe with this pair is that after a month or so of wearing I notice that a couple of the beads are coming away already - but these could easily be glued back into place, I guess what can you expect at this sort of price!?

In any event, these are pretty, comfortable and easy to wear and for the price I paid I still think they are a summer essential.
