Flip-flops are definitely making a comeback among celebrities—and Kim Kardashian’s thong sandals are probably the easiest to copy.
On December 8, the 43-year-old reality star stepped out in the exact uniform every celebrity wears when they don’t wish to be perceived: sweats, baseball cap, sunglasses, and a comfortable pair of shoes. Kardashian went with an all-black version of the incognito look, save a pair of camouflage patterned sunnies. Of course, she managed to stand out anyway.
Perhaps it was the fact that she was carrying two iPhones and an obviously empty coffee cup? Or maybe it was the $450 split-toed Balenciaga flip-flops.
If these slabs of rubber speak to you, I have good and bad news. While they are not available on the Balenciaga website, you can snag this used pair on Poshmark for $250 (though Glamour cannot confirm their authenticity), or you could just…go to your local nail salon and ask for a pair of their disposable pedicure sandals. You cannot tell me these do not look exactly like the $13 plastic pair I just found online.
