New flip flops provide storage for credit cards

28/03/2013
Following in the footsteps of KangaROOS - footwear that was designed with a pocket for keys - a US brand is launching a range of flip flops designed to carry credit cards.

Up to six cards can be placed into the arch area of the sole, where they maintain the flexibility of the sandal while contributing to arch support.

The shoes have been designed by Matt Potts, inventor of ArchPort footwear. In 2007, ArchPort sued apparel company VF Outdoor for making shoes ArchPort claimed violated a patent concerning removable compartments. VF has stopped manufacturing the Reef ‘Stash’ shoe.
