Combat Flip Flops made their debut at SHOT Show…on Tactical Mama’s feet!
We wanted to catch you up on the new lifestyle footwear brand, Combat Flip Flops that we introduced you to last Fall.
The brains behind Combat Flip Flops will be in Las Vegas next week along with the GM of their Afghan factory for anyone who would like to do a face-to-face and take a look at the AK’s, Tuck-Tuck’s, and Poseidons or discuss the manufacturing process.
For the rest of us, they are opening up the website to pre-orders next week as well and we’re itching to order our first pair. I am interested in the AK-47 and Tactical Mama is leaning toward the Tuck-Tuck. Some might scoff at the price tag but considering the materials and details in the design, it isn’t out of line. Particularly when you consider that it is an investment in Afghanistan that isn’t war or drug trade related.

Combat Flip Flops. Bad for running. Worse for Fighting.
The question has come up as to where in Afghanistan that the Combat Flip Flops will be made. Here are pictures taken recently at the factory that will be used.
Coming soon to a foot near you are Combat Flip Flops.
One of the major issues in Afghanistan is developing a robust economy. It’s one of the best ways to combat the insurgency. Put people to work and let them develop a stake in their way of life. A couple of American entrepreneurs saw this first hand and decided to do something about it. Their answer is Combat Flip Flops.
All Models are made with Super comfortable recycled Leather straps and footbeds with heat stamped graphics, a chunky EVA midsole and rubber outsole. All materials are sourced from Afghanistan, assembled by Afghans in a professional environment, and packaged with recycled material from combat uniforms, boots, or tactical equipment.
When you look at the various models you will notice a few embellishments that scream Afghanistan. For example, the use of the poppy and 7.62 x 39 head stamps. Look for Combat Flip Flops to be available by the first of the year. Interested retailers contact them NOW to get in on this. These are going to be big.
