FlipSidez: A Flip-Flop Revolution

Everybody knows flip-flops. First worn by ancient Egyptians over six thousand years ago, flip-flops are now an international phenomenon worn and loved by millions worldwide. They come in thousands of styles and colors but, until now, almost all of them left boring footprints in the sand just like any other shoe or sandal.

 

We’ve changed that. Founded in 2010, FlipSidez is an American company dedicated to creating fun and original Sand Imprint Flip-Flops. This special style of flip-flop has a design imprinted in the sole of the sandal so that each step leaves a personalized message or design in the center of every footprint. The first and only company capable of producing these unique flip-flops with no minimum order quantity, FlipSidez takes pride in our affordable prices, fast turnaround time, and high customer satisfaction.

Haven't I Seen These Before?

Perhaps. FlipSidez isn’t actually the first company to sell footwear with debossed or die cut soles: the idea has been around for over 25 years. However, due to a production process with high set-up costs, the only customers that have been able to enjoy imprint footwear have been large companies and organizations that can afford to buy and import them in very large quantities. It wasn’t a very forgiving process: every pair had to be die cut with the same design, and manufacturing and shipping from Asia meant that orders wouldn’t be received for weeks or even months.

Here at FlipSidez we use a patent-pending process that allows us to make made-to-order flip-flops with personalized designs and no minimum order quantity. This gives our customers—individuals and organizations alike—incredible freedom when placing orders: an order of one hundred pairs with one hundred different designs is as easy for us to produce as one hundred pairs of the same design. Whether you want to order a pair or two as gifts, or you’re part of an organization interested in our incredible wholesale pricing, FlipSidez has the flip-flops for you.

Each pair of FlipSidez receives personal attention from nearly everyone here in the course of its design, production, and shipment. Love your FlipSidez? While the unique design is yours, the rest is probably our fault!

Emily - Customer Service Manager and wielder of what we lovingly call the "Baseball Bat of Employee Motivation," Emily assists customers, assembles customer designs for our imprinting process, and ensures that you receive your FlipSidez in a timely and painless manner. She also keeps the rest of the company running smoothly, for which we are all very grateful.

Brendan - Brendan is our Production Manager, but we're pretty convinced he's also a wizard. He's personally crafted thousands upon thousands of individually personalized flip-flops and, while he says there isn't any magic involved, we find it rather hard to believe him.

Sloan - Sloan (he has a first name, but it has been lost due to disuse) is our Media Manager, and responsible for maintaining all the pretty pictures you see around our website and our social media pages. He's unusually social for a tech guy, and would really love it if you'd swing by our Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter to let us know what you think of your FlipSidez experience!

Erik - Our Quality Control expert, Erik checks each pair to ensure that they are made of equal portions EVA, Rubber, and Love, while being free from pesky defects like holes, discolorations, knife wounds, and explosive damages. Luckily for us the latter two defects are typically rare!

Victor - Assumed Production-Wizard-in-Training, Victor assists Brendan in producing thousands of personalized FlipSidez. We questioned him about the use of magic on the production floor but, like his superior, he remains tight-lipped.

Scott - Our Founder, President, and self-proclaimed "Chief Executive Janitor," Scott founded FlipSidez in 2010 after years of failing to locate any company that could produce a custom flip-flop design for an order of under 100 pairs. He eventually abandoned this fruitless search and put his background in business and art to good use developing the patent pending process that the company now employs. From sourcing material to working with customers to sweeping the floors, Scott does a little bit of everything, all the time, everywhere.
