Havaianass is the trending brand of slippers today along with ipanema and cros that are really expensive to buy.. but many people die to buy one for themselves..

Where I live, they are not very expensive either. I have several pairs myself, and I love them! :) The best and most comfortable shoes ever! And they last for quite a long time too!

I don't really rate them. they just look like really plain plastic flip flops to me. the sort you get in tacky seaside shops. I don't think they look anything special at all. quite plain and boring and cheap looking in my opinion. when you can get a perfectly good pair in the same style for a few quid in primark, or even some much more decorative ones for only a few pounds, I have never considered buying them. they seem really expensive for what they are.

well, here in Brazil it is not expensive, and it is so normal, everybody uses it. I didn't know that you have it there in your country too. thank you and have a nice day.

Here in Brazil it is like 7 dollars, how much is 700 pesos?

1 dollar is equal to 40 pesos or more.. so that means 7 dollars is equal to 280 pesos.. 700 is i think about 10 dollars.. but it is difficult to find a peso nowadays here in the country.. just think that you are going to spend 700 dollars for slippers..

People always want to have the best. We always look for something more than what we can afford. Nothing wrong in it. But that should not cause strain to your finance or family.

you are right , but actually a lot would go to buy for havaianas even if they don't have enough money.. actually they even save some of their money to buy one. as of these days, i feel like havaianas is becoming a statusquo.. in my opinion, they are just slippers, there is nothing more.. i only buy slippers as much as 250 in price and nothing more.. because i cannot use it more except for beaches and house outfits.. but i wear shoes and sandals when i go out and shop..
