Quiksilver CARVER NUBUCK Brown - Men's Flip-flops

Quiksilver Carver Nubuck Flip Flops: the right choice if you want to be comfortable without sacrificing style.

The Quiksilver Carver Nubuck men's flip-flops in brown are designed for those who go from the beach to the city without changing. They're not just another generic flip-flop: the nubuck material offers a completely different feel than smooth plastic, and the brown color works with a variety of looks, from sporty to more casual urban.

How to wear them in everyday outfits

These flip-flops find their natural place in a variety of contexts. With shorts and a t-shirt in the summer, they're the obvious choice. But the dark brown color also allows you to pair them with light jeans for an afternoon stroll, or with Bermuda shorts and a light shirt for a dinner by the sea. If you use them as house slippers, the nubuck leather gives a less improvised look than classic rubber models. They're not elegant.gantas big as a real sandal, but not as banal as the flip-flops you find everywhere.

What to expect from the Carver model

• Nubuck is a material that requires awareness: it is not waterproof like plastic, so it is not the best choice if you constantly use them by the pool where there is constant splashing.
• The sole is designed to absorb shock better than ultralight flip-flops, which is useful if you wear them for a lot of walking.
• Brown is a color that ages well: any signs of wear are not immediately visible as on lighter shades
• Perfect to wear directly without socks, thanks to the internal nubuck texture that does not slip like smooth rubber
• If you buy these, consider them primarily for warm weather and occasional heavy use, not as a boot to wear all day every day

Nubuck material and why it makes a difference

Nubuck feels completely different than standard rubber flip-flops. When you touch them, you immediately notice that it's a more sophisticated material. This translates into a less plasticky, more refined look. For the brown version, this means the flip-flop doesn't have that "something I bought at the first store" look, but rather feels like it's designed to last at least a full season. The trade-off is that nubuck requires a little more care than rubber, but for those who wear them occasionally, this isn't a real problem.
