Life is better in jandals
The Aussies call them thongs, the Brits call them flip-flops. But to Kiwis, they will always be jandals (or Samoan safety boots). And as a beach-loving culture, we just prefer doing life in low-key footwear.
Jandals in NZ have a rocky history, with multiple people claiming the origins of the slang term. The name is said to come from a blend of “Japanese” and “sandal” with the footwear being inspired by the sandals worn in Japan in the 1950s.
Wherever they’re from, they’re not going anywhere. After the surf, heading out for brunch, or just hanging out at home, these shoes bring fun and comfort to our casual days. If you’re never seen without yours, shop our range of jandals for sale in NZ.

Jandals - the questions you’re asking
Can you drive with jandals?
While it’s not illegal to drive in jandals in NZ, they’re not necessarily the safest shoes to wear when driving a vehicle. Jandals could easily slip off—especially if you need to brake quickly. It’s best to wear comfortable, closed-back shoes that offer better grip. Just keep your jandals close by and slip them on when you get to the beach.
Are jandals good for your feet?
Jandals go with off-duty days, like when you’re lounging by the beach or strolling along the boardwalk. They take a second to slip on and off, and offer our feet some much-needed breathability on hot days. They’re perfect for wetter environments, but we don’t recommend wearing them for long periods of time, like when you’re taking a long walk.
