Havaianas are truly the best rubber footwear in the world. They are designed & manufactured by Sao Paulo Alpargatas S.A. The ultra-high quality of Havaianas is due to a top-secret rubber recipe created exclusively by Alpargatas. This highly guarded recipe makes the footwear soft as marshmallows, light, & highly durable. There are many knock-offs in the market place, but Havaianas customers know that there is no substitute for the authentic comfort & quality that only Brazil’s Havaianas can provide.
