So I was just in Mexico for a short escape from this Chicago winter. The weather was pretty nice – could’ve been better but I’m nice and tan and took in lots of sunshine and warmth so I’m not complaining!
Prior to my holiday I was on the hunt for new flip flops. While in L.A. I was passing the Rainbow Sandalsstore on Melrose and found that they have hemp sandals! Hemp is a natural fiber, durable and biodegradable. Even the label attached to them was made from 100% recycled paper. So – in concept I love them and at first test they were super comfy.
Unfortunately they’re not fun to break in. Maybe it’s because I have the thin strap version, but I have blisters on the top of both of my feet and I got to the point where I would rather go barefoot (and for the germaphobe that I am, that’s crazy!). I’m really hoping they get better. Now that I’m back in the cold weather it’ll be awhile before I wear them again so I’m not sure what my final decision will be on these. In theory they’re great and just because they gave me blisters doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll do the same for you.
I’m super happy that Rainbow Sandals found it important to make such eco-friendly shoes – hopefully now I’ll be able to work into them 
I love my Rainbows! I’ve had the same ones for 3 years now and they get better the more I wear them
The thicker strap ones are pretty tough to break in to.. but, it’s worth it.

ok, then I’ll tough it out during this uncomfortable breaking in period – maybe once my blisters have fully healed I’ll wear them around the house to finish breaking them in before summer
