Kidsday: Mogo flip flops are cool
We think Mogo flip-flops are cool, and they come in all different sizes.
Mogo flips have charms that are magnetic, so you can decorate them in different ways. Mogo flips were started by Paige Clark. She actually wanted to decorate her horse's blanket with magnets, but that did not work out so well. So she thought that magnets would be a good way to make charms. Mogo is the name of the horse her dad gave her when she was 9.
When we tried out the flips, we were each given a little bag of magnet charms that we attached to the straps of the flip flops. We think this is a great and inexpensive way to accessorize your summer wardrobe. You can find charms that match your mood that day and they even had a design studio on the website to help you come up with ways to make your flips look even better.
If you can't find them in a store near you, visit the website: getmogo .com. If you want new magnets, you can find them on that website, too. There are also charm bands you can get once the weather gets too cool for flip flops.
