GURUS THE ECO-FRIENDLY FLIP FLOP


What makes a good flip flop?                                        SENT FOR REVIEW

For me personally I want a flip flop that is comfortable to walk in literally all day and makes me look forward to putting them back on. The foot bed can NOT be EVA foam. If you want a flip flop that is going to last and not become warped and concave in the heel area steer clear of foam cheap-o flip flops. Everyone loves something that is cheap and almost close to free, but $1 flip flops like those offered at Old Navy or even a local Dollarama will not be doing your poor feet any justice. Don't get me wrong I am guilty of taking part in buying something because its so cheap, but you quickly see the difference and how fast the product breaks down.

I discovered Gurus online the thing that immediately caught my attention is the unique style and the nice range of colours. Gurus flip flops are based on the 5000-year-old Indian tradition which is the sandal called methiyedi (meth-ee-yed-ee) which was worn by Mahatma Gandhi Philosopher and leader of the Indian independence movement. Originally methiyedi were crafted from wood,



 but now a days you can get a pair like Gurus made in a more modern design and sustainably sourced from biodegradable rubber trees hand harvested from Gurus family farms. So every time you purchase a pair of Gurus they will plant a tree in its place.




I do love the concept of Gurus and I think they look so fun on the feet. The day they arrived I wore them right away and had a few people ask what they were and had said they were "cute". 


I think for me I may need a bigger size or even get the mens to accommodate my sausage feet


The foot bed is comfortable and absorbs a good amount of impact as your walking. I do see these being very practical for people who have maybe a more slender foot, which I don't. So because my feet are not only wider than the average woman, but also thicker I found the rubber button that sits between my toes was not completely comfortable the whole time I was walking.




 I do like the added feature of the strap across the top of the foot which adds to the flip flops stability. I found they stayed on my feet fine maybe because they are chunkier but have read some complaints of them slipping on some people's feet. 




Gurus are available for men, woman, and children PRICES RANGE FROM $30 U.S TO $40 CAD

CanadianEcoMom final thought - I think Gurus has a bright future ahead. In time I hope they will consider adding elements such as wide and slim fit for varying foot structure.
