Door Mats That Are Shoe-ins … Literally!
_
We have posted on several doormats on the site … it is actually quite difficult to find well-designed and/or traditional style doormats, but quite easy to find crazy, out-there ones. These flip flop doormats are by the masters of the onomatopoeic shoe, Havaianas, and include a pair of built in shoes!
From here on out I’m going to refer to the shoes by my native Australian term of thongs (just a warning for those of you who speak a different English!), and ignore the potential sniggers about what I do with what would be underwear, in a different part of the world.
Researching for this post, I also discovered an additional share-worthy piece of information - that thongs were actually popularised in 1907 in Brazil, when Havaianas’ parent company began producing cheap, simple sandals for people working on coffee harvesting in the hot weather. There you go! The blue collar, working roots of the shoes show when you wear them, they are the most comfortable thongs I’ve ever owned. End plug, cash cheque from company.
Anyhoo, these doormats by Havaianas now let you keep your shoes not just next to the doormat, but INSIDE it. Yay! How cool. If you are like me, constantly slipping your thongs on and off and losing them, now you’ll always know where they are. Just keep your mat out of the way of dog-poopy, muddy and gravelly feet, and pop a tripping hazard warning sign up next to it, and you’ll be ready to go!

The sandals are cut out from the mats? Very unique.
I agree! Multitasking comes to the worlds of doormats and shoes…
That’s pretty cool, it would definitely come in handy every once in a while! Thanks for posting
