Pretty standard flip-flops in terms of design and color (black with a grey sole), but they do not fit well. The pair that I am wearing is very loose and tends to flip and flop more than usual. I even have a size smaller than what I normally wear since flip flops run small usually. I love the FSC rubber and the fair labor practices that Autonomie works with, but a pair of flip flops needs to be semi-sturdy if you are going to be walking around in them.
I would not dare to drive with these eco-flops, but bringing them to the beach works nicely. Has anyone else actually tried these out?

My recycled car tire welcome mat had to be relocated to a new area to make room for the new, bright and squishy flip flop floor mat. The rugged black tire mat was getting boring to look at and made my condo entryway look stale. I opted to move it to another location and replace it with a brightly colored mat made of leftovers from a flip flop company. The remnants are arranged in a diamond pattern and are really cushiony and soft.
I like the colors and the feel both with and without shoes, but the pattern leaves much to be desired. I actually think the welcome mat would look even better in a random pattern or with one type of remnant.
Other than the pattern, I really like the welcome mat. I did not get rid of my old recycled tire welcome mat. It’s just inside now and being used differently, no worries.
You can buy the floor mat from VivaTerra. They offer all sorts of recycled products, such as rice paper bags turned laundry baskets and even more!
