How much would you pay for a pair of flip flops that have the team name/mascot embroidered on the straps? These are the cushy thick soled type flip flops. ETA: Link to website - flip flops

I hate flip flops, but I'm a sucker for team items that my kids are in So yes, I did pick a price.

It would depend on how cute I thought they were.
If I thought they were cute I'd have no problem paying $25 or more. If I didn't think they were cute I wouldn't buy them.

I would pay $15 for them... I just bought a pair for me with out the logo on them for $15.98 but I always buy the better quality ones because I have tender toes.

I was going to say $10 or $15 but then I looked at the link and changed my vote to $20 - they're pretty cool!

After looking at the link I think they're pretty plain. I probably wouldn't buy them.
I can usually find flip flops in team colors and with bling for $25, so I wouldn't buy plain ones.

I'd probably pay $20.00 if it was a fundraiser and my kids would wear them. But I wouldn't buy them just to support the fundraiser if I didn't think they'd get any use. My daughters cheer team tried to sell these last year for $25.00-$30.00 and not one pair was sold!

You mean for my kids' teams? 0. But I suppose we are an anomaly. My kids wear gear for their teams or representing them. My husband and I don't.
But if my kid wanted a pair, maybe $15. Depends on the actual flip flop. It's such a small logo that would be needed, not much thread, minimal labour.

I would buy them in a heartbeat, and would spend up to $25. I'm a sucker for DS school logo gear. Around here, most of the high school kids only wear the flip flop type shoes without the toe splitter, so they can wear socks, so I don't think they would sell well to the students. When I was a kid, only little old men wore socks with sandals. The athletes wear them so they can swap shoes quickly, and for the rest, it's a fashion statement.

I said $15, but it would depend too on how long she was going to be in the sport and how long I thought she might be able to wear them.

We wear flip flops almost all year round, so I wouldn't have a problem with paying for them if the boys wanted them.

I said $15 cause I'm cheap, but I would pay up to $20, since he would wear them around the track and save his clip shoes! And of course, we live in Florida where we wear them often

Thanks for the feedback.
They would really be universal for our entire school program. So we can appeal to the community. Since he is just in 7th grade, we personally would be wearing them for some time.

I said $15 because they don't look very durable and I saw on the website that a lot of schools charge $20 for them and make $10-15 profit. To me I'd charge the lesser amount with hopes to sell a lot more of them. It is a cute fundraiser item though!

Hate flip flops so zero! I think slides would appeal to the athletes themselves more than flip flops.

The moms would wear them to games and school events. I thought about it a little more, and started wondering the same thing. Most of the kids that participate in sports wear slides so they don't have to take their socks off.

They held up for a couple of years actually, (similar to my yellowbox flipflops actually) and I live in them almost year round. In a warm climate they sell pretty well. I didn't go that route because I don't have a need for this type of fundraiser, but they weren't bad.

$20-$25 and would buy them for the family. Total soccer for team products. DD's hockey team is teal and black..... I own an awful lot of teal..... Shirts, hoodies, hat, scarf, mitts (cold arenas) nail polish, liquid liner for cheeks, hair stuff..... Hubby started coaching so he didn't have to be seen with me

Boys here don't wear flip flops. If they were athletic sandals or something we'd pay up to 30ish
