We brought back our original Dirty Copper flip flop for the summer of 2026 but with an exciting new addition. Our custom cut rubber outsole is stickier than your last relationship. We spent a few seasons designing and testing this checker pattern and it performs. Wet rocks shaped like basketballs and covered in grease? No problem
Footbed and strap outers are cut from dye free vegetable tanned leather. Absolutely no chemicals or dyes used during tanning. Leather straps are backed with a cotton and jute canvas blend and assembled with the classic zig zag stitch. Let nature do the work for you and watch the patina and color transform with this veg tanned leather. It performs like no other leather we have ever put on a flip flop. This is the most water friendly leather we can find. No slippery footbeds or sliding feet when wet. Pure grip.

Why the long toe thong, you say? When you lengthen the toe thong of a flip flop you position what we like to call the "fulcrum", the place at which the straps meet and flex, closer to the arch of the foot. By doing this you decrease a large amount of flop and tighten the straps around the center of your foot, reducing the amount of work your toes experience. The result is a more snug fit, relaxed muscles of the arch, and a real A+100 for people who like great flip flops.
Shower with a friend! Got Dirt Problems? Cooks flops are ready to be shower friendly and are happy to be scrubbed with an old tooth brush. Freshen that strap liner up, scrub that thong. Mud and Marsh approved. Don't fret about getting that leather muddy or wet. This tough as dirt leather will look amazing with time.
More on that custom Zig Zag liner. A tribute to our old handmade flops we put together in the barn using a 1960"s Alphasew ZigZag machine. We love that look so much so we refined it and rolled with it. The straps are lengths cut from cotton and Jute rolls run through a zigzag machine creating a strong and organic seamless strap which is then sewn to leather. Soft and durable, these straps become bomb proof when backed with leather.
