Product overview
About two-tone rubber flip-flops
Two-tone flip-flops laminate two or more coloured rubber layers so the stripes show at the sole edge. The reference shows a navy footbed over navy and white layers with a white Y-strap.
Layered sheet is either bought pre-laminated or laminated before die-cutting. Colour choices, layer order and thickness of each layer set the look, so they are agreed on swatches and confirmed on samples.
This style suits brands that want a recognisable colour signature across a range without changing the basic construction.
OEM: your design
Send your colour combinations and branding. We source or laminate layered sheet and match strap colours.
ODM: developed with you
Choose a sole profile; we propose layer combinations and strap options and produce colour samples.

Sizing and specifications
Sizing and technical specifications
Size conversions are approximate and vary by last and brand; they are not a production grading chart, and your own brand size chart replaces them if you have one. Technical measurements are set on your last and samples, recorded on the approved sample and controlled in bulk.
Paired or whole sizes; the layered edge is checked for even thickness around the outline in every size.

How to measure foot length
- 01Stand on a sheet of paper with full weight on the foot, heel against a wall.
- 02Mark the tip of the longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark in millimetres.
- 03Measure both feet and use the longer one; measure later in the day when feet are largest.
- 04Compare with the foot-length column, not the shoe's outside length.

- Sample pair in the core size to confirm feel, thickness and strap fit
- Size run check before bulk for moulded designs
- Pre-production sample approved as the bulk standard
MOQ for this style
- Each layer colour has its own compound minimum, so multi-layer combinations raise MOQ.
Quality checks for this style
- Layer bond and even stripe thickness around the edge
- Colour order consistent across pairs
Packaging
- Hang card or polybag per pair; colour assortments packed by ratio.
Testing and compliance
Frameworks relevant to this style. Obligations depend on where and how the product is sold, and the brand placing it on the market carries them. General information, not legal advice.
EU REACH restrictions (Annex XVII)Market obligation
Restricts chemicals in articles sold in the EU, including chromium VI in leather in contact with skin (entry 47, limit 3 mg/kg), certain azo dyes, PAHs in rubber parts and dimethyl fumarate. Leather and component suppliers' test reports are collected per order where a buyer requires them.
EU footwear labelling (Directive 94/11/EC)Market obligation
Footwear sold in the EU must indicate the material of the upper, the lining and sock, and the outsole, using the directive's pictograms or wording. Labels are produced to the buyer's market requirements.
EU General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988Market obligation
Applies since 13 December 2024 to consumer products placed on the EU market, including traceability information on the product or packaging. The obligations sit with the economic operator placing the product on the market; we supply the production information they need.
UK footwear composition labellingMarket obligation
The UK keeps equivalent requirements for indicating the composition of upper, lining and sock, and outsole on footwear sold to consumers.
US requirements for children's productsMarket obligation
Children's footwear sold in the US falls under CPSIA requirements (including lead limits and tracking labels) where applicable; testing is carried out by accredited third-party labs arranged per order.
Slip resistance (ISO 13287 method)Optional test, on request
Slip resistance can be measured on the finished outsole where a buyer needs data for an open-footwear or outdoor product. Results depend on compound, tread and test surface.
Khairay Footwear does not state any certification, approval or test result for this style unless documentation exists for your order.

Can we choose the order of the colours?

Will the layers separate?
Layer bonding is checked on samples and in bulk inspection. Adhesion testing can be arranged with an external lab on request.
Can the strap match one of the layers?
Yes, straps are colour-matched to the layer you choose.
Can we mix colour combinations in one order?
Yes, each combination is planned with its own size breakdown and minimums.
Can our logo go on the footbed?
Yes, printed or embossed on the top layer.
Can we submit our own flip-flop design?

What information do you need for a flip-flop quotation?
Sole and strap type, colours, branding, size range (adult and children's), quantity per colour, packaging and destination market.
Do you publish MOQs for flip-flops?
