Walk Your Talk Flip Flops - A Dedicated Email

In the history of footwear, the humble flip flop has been around almost as long as humankind has walked the earth. There's even an Egyptian hieroglyph for it—a long oval with an inverted V in just the right place. Legend has it that courtesans in ancient Rome arranged nails on the soles of their flip flops to spell "follow me" in the dust of the street. In the 1990's, the comfortable, casual and universal sandal landed with a solid "flip flop" in the halls of popular and haute couture where it has remained a versatile fashion item ever since.

Musewear founder Diane Curry saw something even bigger than fashion in the ubiquitous flip flop. Her desire to say “thank you” with her first steps each morning inspired her to decorate ethically-produced flip flops with striking artwork and uplifting words of wisdom from such luminaries as Gandhi, Oscar Wilde, Ella Fitzgerald and the Dalai Lama. Musewear gives back by supporting a host of humanitarian causes that will warm your heart as well as your soles. Wear Musewear’s fun and sassy footgear with pride and gratitude as you walk kindly in the world. With Musewear, you really can put your best foot forward!
