Flip flops sold in threes?

August 29, 2023 7:55 AM

Amazon Basics flip flops seem to come in packs of three sandals, rather than three pairs of sandals, at least going by the photos that accompany the listings. Is that the case? Have any of you purchased these and received three sandals? Or are the images misleading and what they're selling is three pairs of sandals? I could do the science and simply purchase a set, but I'd prefer not to. Yes, this is absolutely #fundraiser2023.

If they are selling a total of three sandals, is there some rationale behind that which I'm missing?

Best answer: “Product Description
An Amazon brand - threee pairs of classic flip flops with a molded upper and flexible EVA construction for superior comfort and fit”
Reading is fundamental.

Response by poster: I enjoy the three letters 'e' in the the description's 'threee'.

The description does say pairs, but all of the photos and the sizing diagram show the left shoe only, which has me thinking it would be very 'on brand' for Amazon to send you 6 left flip flops.

Left half-meat feet.

I think Amazon doesn't want the non right foot to feel left out. Left out.
