Nic Del Mar

475 Bitmore Way, Suite 105

A lot can be said about the basic flip flop. Sure, it looks simple, but the right one brings ease and comfort to the owner and manages to look good despite just being a bottom and a strap. Nic Del Mar has the surprisingly gorgeous and appropriately-named crystal glamour sandals, as well as slippers for those who want something close-toed. While you peruse the shoes, grab yourself a nice and stylish pair of sunglasses to match the new shoes.

This shop may not have a ton of options in the way of shoes, but it doesn't matter because what they do have is carefully selected to please.
