Here’s a way to kick the winter blues. With Kusa flip-flops, the feeling of walking barefoot in a grassy field goes wherever you go. Real grass couldn’t take that kind of pounding, of course, but the high-quality synthetic turf used in these Australian-made knockabouts has “the look and feel” of the real thing. Their designer says that sporting the shoes is a way to rebel against “imposed conformity.” But feel free to wear them just to start conversations when you’re out strolling on a city street, along a beach, “or—if you’re into irony—on an actual lawn.”
