Hi OZB, I'm looking for a pair of reliable, comfortable flip flops that I can wear all day. Been browsing Reddit's BIFL subreddit and it seems like the rainbows seem to be really popular there lasting 5 to 10 years however the Australian store seems to be out of stock on all the medium range sizes. Wondering if there are any other decent brands? Don't mind if it costs a lot as long as it lasts and is comfortable all day. Thanks.

At the inevitable heat death of the universe there will only be thongs.
what are flip flops
OP is clearly not a "Real Australian".
Real Aussies buy $4 pairs of thongs from Kmart and only replace them when they have a blow out.
Buy it for Life
Nek minnit
therethey’re lasting 5 to 10 yearsAm I missing something in the “buy it for life”? You mean, buy something that lasts a lifetime or something that enriches your life? I’m kinda thinking that “flip flops” do neither of these things…
Got some Teva Mush II's last year and they are by far the most comfortable thongs I've ever had. Can't recommend them high enough: https://www.teva.com/men-footwear/mush-ii-canvas/1004890.htm…
Not sure if any thongs have vibram soles, but that would be the go. A lot of good brands have been using vibram soles on sandals for a long time.
I got this pair 5 years ago https://lightfeet.com.au/product/orlando/, still look like new even though I wear them a lot.
Not what OP's after, but others might like.
Just bought the cheapest bush-trekking safety thongs from Aliex I could find.

Most flip flops/thongs last forever, I've had mine for 63 years and I'm only in my 40's.
