The mighty shoe has been called the carriage to the foot, a fashion-forward receptacle of phalanges, and the durable bread between our butter-heels and bacon-sidewalk. Dress up walkers with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $25 worth of foldable flip-flops from Flexflop.
Educated at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Stacey Kirsch knew a fashion emergency when she spotted one and set out to offer tired tootsies some cushy relief with Flexflops, a line of compact, versatile thong sandals. Featured in Self and People magazines, the limber sandals fold into an accompanying mini-pouch, which is easily tucked inside even the daintiest handbag. The back-up footwear ($17.50–$25) promises to improve the love-hate relationship between style mavens and their stilettos, or brides and their maids. Rhinestone-encrusted flops can be custom ordered in a rainbow of colors to match tulle and taffeta alike. The bride-to-be herself might opt for the white wedding edition ($20) or upgrade to a custom monogram of her new initials ($8 for 3 initials). If her shoes start pinching, Flexflops can step in to create a first-dance memory that is pleasant, not painful. The stylish sandals are also handy for preventing smudges post-pedicure, for packing light during travel, and for fending off territorial beach squirrels.

- Your best friend knows when it's time to relax, and a mani and pedicure are always a must! Now she can look glam for [sic] her head down to her toes (literally) with Flexflop's fold and go sandals. – Shecky's
- I can see the Flex Flop being a big hit amongst women who dance for three hours in four inch heels but then have to walk several blocks when the party is over. – Felicia, This That Beauty
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Airplane Noises
While traveling by airplane, you'll hear many noises designed to alert you and your fellow passengers to messages from the cockpit. Here's a look at what those sounds mean:
Ding!: The captain has turned on the Fashion Seatbelt sign, which allows you to swap out your standard nylon seatbelt for a more stylish, homemade one.
Pong!: The flight attendants are lighting up the Go Smoking sign, which is your cue to start lighting up any nearby cigarettes. In the event of an emergency, always light your cigarette before lighting cigarettes for any cool children.
Khaaaaan!: The in-flight movie will be the famous scene in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in which Captain Kirk teaches the crew of the Enterprise how to correctly pronounce the French capital, Cannes.
Tears in Heaven: In lieu of a movie, first-class passengers will be treated to an impromptu concert during which Steve Winwood will play all of Eric Clapton's greatest hits.
Uh-ohhhh...: Nothing is wrong. Nothing at all is wrong.
