Ok, so Jan 1st 2017, Al Qudra desert, UAE. I was horribly hungover and sliding down a dune after sneaking off to have a poo.
Friends in our group had found explosives they were throwing on the camp fire, so I hid behind the Hummer where I spotted the (potentially a Haviana) flip-flop.
I felt compelled to take a photo as the shade of blue against the white sand is quite striking. Like a small blue pool of water in the dry desert.
I wanted fame and notoriety on the lonely shoe blog.
Actually my friend took the photo as my phone was dead. When I told her why I wanted it she gave me a concerned look. She whatsapped it to me probably later that day and I forgot all about it until 1 year and 10 months later…
Branding is faded and hard to read but I’m going to put my money on Haviianas. I’d say womens, but a small footed metrosexual male isn’t out of the question. It has some wear to it which I’ll wager was caused by a passing camel having a munch then spitting it out.
