Scarpa Gets Flippie With The Floppies

We got a glimpse of Scarpa's new Flippie at a trade show last year and now it's here in the flesh just in time for summer.


It might look like a bog standard flip-flop, but Scarpa's R and D team have poured their hearts and souls into producing what they say is 'the ultimate in after sports and leisure wear'. It is, they say, 'designed to the same exacting standards expected from all Scarpa footwear with emphasis on comfort'.

So no more wearing your Mantas on the beach, the Flippie is a far better solution with an upper made from water-shedding PU leather with lined leather straps, an anatomic EVA foot-bed with suede leather top-sheet - we prefer Indian cotton, but there you go - and an anti-skid rubber sole.

Yep, it really should be top of the flip-flops... Price of sartorial sandal superiority is a mere £24.99 which is a lot cheaper than a pair of Mantas. Or even one Manta.
