I've heard of Ipanema sandals some time ago when they were launched, but it didn't really attract me that much as I thought it was just another slipper-fad (like the Crocs. Too bad they lasted. Down with Crocs!!). I also read about Kimberlycun's newly-purchased Ipanema sandals, and thought hmm, they look pretty good.
And then I made the mistake of stepping into Novo and trying the sandals on.
Oh. My. God.
It's simply the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever worn. It was as though I wasn't even wearing anything on my feet! I came out of the shop AUD39.95 poorer. Incidentally it would also be the most money I've ever spent on a pair of sandals.
Lookit my babies! :p
I walked three hours in the city today in these. The sandals are very light, and like I said, it felt like I hadn't any shoes on. Highly recommended!
According to Kimberlycun, you can snap them up at 1-Utama, for RM69.90 a pair. I got mine at Novo for AUD39.95. Sucks to me big time for paying more because I cannot NOT have it, eh?

Don't tempt me girl!!! argh!! *runs away to bury my head in the sand*
you too?!!! aiyo...ive read about it frm kim, then parisB, then u!! aiyo...tempting me oni u gals. I kept seeing Giselle in my mind.
Paris: *pulls Paris away from the sand* Go! Go! So that I don't feel guilty with my purchase :p
Fashionasia: Sigh ... what can I say? I caved in to pure slipper indulgence. Tsk tsk :p
i have a rm169 voucher to purchase crocs. but, i have went to the shop 2x and still havent made up my mind on which pair to get..all look equally yucky
great buy eh :)
imy first pair was exactly yours, style and colours :D they're pretty worn out though..the flowers have dropped off and the soles are starting to crack. but still the most comfortable sandals ever. i can't bring myself to chuck em away eventhough i've got 2 new pairs hehe
but saying that, i think they are much more worth the buy than crocs. Crocs are wayyyyyy overrated, and quite ugly too. Although the newer designs are fairing better. :)
hey darls, sorry to rain on your parade. today's the LAST warm-ish day I think. =P Weekend's gonna be wet and cold. Better make sure you wear that pair as much as you want today. =)
Hey, i was in the city yesterday! Was there in sofitel for a seminar (*snore*) Should've made plans to say hi kinda thing. Definitely more interesting than my *snore* seminar *snore* *snore* *snore*
Prettybeautiful: Oh you serious? In that case, don't waste it! To give it credit, I do admit that the flip-flops are good, compared to the ugly clogs. I just don't buy them 'cos they're way too expensive for a pair of flip-flops (okok, don't remind me of how much I paid for my Ipanemas! :p). But since you have a voucher, you can actually get 'em without feeling the pinch.
Have fun!
Kimberlycun: Hi, good seeing you here :)
Yeah, it's definitely a good buy. I love the little flowers on the toes, I'm real tempted to get myself another pair! *gulp*
Fashionasia: Haha, I agree. But then again hoh, Crocs were originally made for those in the medical profession, where you have to stand on your feet the whole day, so it could be more well worth it for them to wear that to work rather than a pair of Ipanema sandals :p
Geekchic:
I know! That's why I had to go to the city yesterday :P Had to *ahem* show off the sandals, hehe. When I was on the train down to Southern Cross St (went to DFO yesterday; great buys ;)), there was this lady sitting opposite me, who was wearing the EXACT pair!
Aiya, ini maciam should have replied your email earlier. Getting to it now ;)
hey!!!!!! I've got the EXACT Giselle B. Sandals!!! I LOVE IT!!! I had it for a year now, and I am still using!!! And I'm not a loyal shoe/sandal person, and usually it just lasts a month or so and I'll move on, with this ?? I just can't STOP using it!!! hahaha LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I'm glad you have it too!!!!
Askmewhats:
Yay! Good for ya. I'm loving mine too. Glad to know yours hasn't fallen apart after a year, hehe :p
after a year, it just gets....a li'l bit flat...compared to the first time I bought it, but its same as comfy as before..yes ..it'll last long and I think it'll last for another year (no joke) hehehe ENJOY!!!! I can't believe it! Exact same one!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
I've got the same pair but in black! I like it, but it does hurt a little after long hours of walking cos of the criss cross at the big toe.
Anyway, I'm lemming their new designs now!
Askmewhats:
I can vouch for the quality so yeah, it should last me a while. Which is good, because I don't want the husband to start complaining that I buy crappy shoes that fall apart after a few wears!
Sesame:
I do agree with you; the criss-cross bit does nip. For some reason I think I "felt" the flower, but there's another layer of strap below it, so I shouldn't feel anything. Hmm ...
Hi im actually looking for the same design tat u bought. I believe u just bought them not too long ago. Im just wondering if Novo in Bangsar Village still have the same design?? Thank you for ur help.

Hi there, I actually bought mine in a Novo store in Melbourne. But you're in luck. According to Paris, you can get the Ipanema sandals at Novo in Bangsar Village II. The one she bought is very similar to mine, so go check it out.
Good luck!
