Whois & Analysis for havaianas.com

Havaianas is a Brazilian brand of flip-flop sandals created by Scotsman Robert Fraser in 1962.

It is currently owned by Brazilian manufacturing company Alpargatas.

Inspired by Japanese zōri sandals, Fraser became the first to mass-produce flip-flops out of rubber.

The name Havaianas is derived from the feminine form of the Portuguese word for "Hawaiians", and the pattern on the soles of the sandals is designed to resemble the straw soles of zōri.

Originally, all Havaianas featured white insoles with colored outsoles and straps.

Because of their simplicity and low price, the sandals became popular with Brazil's lowest social classes.

Flip-flops are a type of sandal typically worn as a form of casual wear.

They consist of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap that passes between the first and second toes and around both sides of the foot.

Footwear refers to garments worn on the feet, which originally serves to purpose of protection against adversities of the environment, usually regarding ground textures and temperature.

Footwear in the manner of shoes therefore primarily serves the purpose to ease the locomotion and prevent injuries.

Secondly footwear can also be used for fashion and adornment as well as to indicate the status or rank of the person within a social structure.

Sandals are an open type of footwear, consisting of a sole held to the wearer's foot by straps going over the instep and, sometimes, around the ankle.

Sandals can also have a heel.

While the distinction between sandals and other types of footwear can sometimes be blurry (as in the case of huaraches—the woven leather footwear seen in Mexico, and peep-toe pumps), the common understanding is that a sandal leaves most of the upper part of the foot exposed.

People may choose to wear sandals for several reasons, among them comfort in warm weather, economy (sandals tend to require less material than shoes and are usually easier to construct), and as a fashion choice.

Shorts are a garment worn by both men and women over their pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to the knees but not covering the entire length of the leg.

They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers, which cover the entire leg.

Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and air flow are more important than the protection of the legs.
