Lindsay Phillips
Who knew a simple high school art project could lead to an innovation in the flip flop industry. Well, they did and SwitchFlops have been gaining recognition since the lines launch in 2007. Stemming from a high school art project where founder Lindsay Phillips made a pair of ceramic flip flops, SwitchFlops are a unique concept that combines the basic flip flop with hundreds of Velcro straps. The result - the ability to change and customize your flip flops!

There are hundreds of combination possibilities with all of the flip flops and the Velcro straps Lindsay has designed. Flip flops are not just for the beach anymore and you do not have to stare at that same boring pair of flip flops that you simply cannot part with day in and day out.
We all know things seem to get better with time. Shoes are no exception and everyone has their favorite pair of flip flops. Imagine not having to get rid of that pair simply because they are looking old or getting a new pair that need broken in just because your favorite pair doesn't match an outfit. All you have to do is jazz them up a bit with a new SwitchFlops strap! With SwitchFlops, you can wear that favorite pair of flip flops every day, but still have a new look at the same time!
Taking the same concept as SwitchFlops Lindsay developed Snap Shoes. These feature lovely pairs of shoes that are customizable in a snap! Simply replace the center snap with a new one from the Snap Shoes lines and voila! A brand new pair of shoes!
