Sleepers Tapered Flip Flops

This is why we love Sleepers: their flip flops are made using premium grade, fairly traded natural rubber, making them the eco-friendly choice for our next trip to the beach. Plus, their practices are ethical too – they tap their rubber in Sri Lanka in a way that protects the tree’s natural lifecycle, and they ship all their product by sea to avoid air pollution. Comfortable, breathable and easy to clean (Sleepers recommend mild soap and a brush) this classic black pair has a tapered sole that’s embossed with the brand’s logo.
