These Havaianas flip-flops are easy to find at night thanks to glow-in-the-dark footbeds.

Flip-flops tend to turn up missing every summer — misplaced at beach bonfires, tucked under couches or accidentally abandoned at outdoor festivals. Indeed, they may be the summer equivalent (along with sunglasses, of course) to gloves and scarves in the loss department. Lucky for us, Havaianas has come up with a fun and practical solution: glow-in-the-dark flip-flops!

The Brazilian flip-flop company’s Cool sandals ($28) are available in four colors — chocolate, green, violet and black — adorned with playful heart or star designs. The flip-flops’ footbeds glow the entire time you’re in the dark, so they’ll stay illuminated during starlit strolls (preferably on a beach near São Paulo).

We stocked up on Havaianas while in Brazil last year, and we fell in love with the comfortable fit and delightful designs. Do you think glow-in-the-dark flip-flops will help you keep better track of your Havaianas — or your friends — during summer evenings?
