Gear Review: Rainbow Flip Flops
Rainbow Sandals are the best you’ll ever own I was never one to wear flip flops as a kid. I mean common they look so uncomfortable. Who wants to have something stuck between your big toe and second toe the whole day. It just seemed illogical. For that fact, that’s why I wore sandals most […]
