Havaianas is the first brand that most think of when it comes to rubber slippers. Thanks to their vibrant designs and high level of quality, it’s not hard to see why!
As popular as this Brazilian brand is, trying to find a reputable seller online can be frustrating.
Therefore, we decided to compile and share with you some of the best online sites that ship Havaianas to Singapore.
Schumart
Price range: S$18.90 – S$39.90
Established as a family business back in 2007, Schumart is a Singaporean company that works directly with suppliers in Brazil to bring in Havaianas slippers at great prices.
Our shopping experience:
Our experience navigating and shopping here was enjoyable, convenient and fuss-free.
Apart from having a ton of designs in stock locally, Schumart offers the lowest prices and fastest doorstep delivery among all the sites we compared.
Pros:
- Wide selection for men, women and kids
- Lowest prices online
- 100% authentic
- Fast shipping (1 – 5 days)
- Free delivery with minimum spending of $39.90
Zalora
Price range: S$23 – S$55
If you’ve done any sort of online shopping at all, chances are you’re already familiar with Zalora. It is one of the most well-known online fashion retailers in Asia.
Zalora offers an extensive collection of fashion apparels for all sorts of budgets. You can find anything from low-cost boutique brands to high-end premium goods here, including Havaianas.
Our shopping experience:
Apart from having a simple navigation and check-out process, one big advantage of shopping on Zalora is their cash on delivery option.
While their selection of Havaianas slippers is decent, we’ve found that common sizes are somewhat limited and frequently out of stock.
Pros:
- Fast shipping from Singapore (2 – 5 business days)
- Free delivery above $40 spend
- Cash on delivery option
- Site is easy to navigate
Cons:
- Limited sizes available
Qoo10
Price range: From S$23.90
As Asia’s largest online marketplace, Qoo10 is known for its huge selection of products, time-deals and special promotion codes. However, these low prices aren’t sufficient to justify the time and effort required to navigate the site.
Our shopping experience:
One key issue we faced was the lack of pricing transparency. Due to the many sellers and their clickbait tactics, we often found ourselves lured into clicking on low-priced products, only to find out about the added costs for different designs and sizes. The actual price is always almost the same as what you could have gotten elsewhere.
Another concern is the high volume of imitation products available. Nothing is worse than waiting for an entire week only to receive a fake product just because you wanted to save a couple of bucks.
Pros:
- Huge selection
- Many discount coupons and promotions
Cons:
- Confusing and difficult purchasing experience
- Many imitation products
- Shipping charges and time vary
FlopStore
Price range: S$18 – S$106
FlopStore is an international site that specialises in flip flops and sandals. Compared to sites like Zalora, they aren’t as well-known in Singapore.
Our shopping experience:
Although they have different sites to cater to each country, all their products ship from their warehouse in Los Angeles, USA.
Despite the long delivery time and lack of free shipping to Singapore, FlopStore has quite a wide selection of Havaianas slippers at affordable prices. If you can’t find your preferred design elsewhere and don’t mind waiting 2 weeks, this might be a site worth checking out.
Pros:
- Huge selection
- Site is easy to navigate
- Affordable prices
Cons:
- Not a well-known store in Singapore
- Long delivery time (14 days)
- No free international shipping
REVOLVE
Price range: S$19 – S$54
Based in USA, REVOLVE has emerged as a billion-dollar fashion company for millennial women that’s constantly raved about by fashion lovers and bloggers.
Our shopping experience:
While they offer a huge range of budget-friendly to high-end fashion apparels and accessories, their selection of Havaianas slippers is quite disappointing. Moreover, free international shipping is only offered with a minimum spending on USD $100.
REVOLVE is better suited for those who are mainly shopping for their other products and adding Havaianas slippers into your cart while you’re at it.
Pros:
- Well-known and reputable site
- Fast delivery time (4 business days)
Cons:
- Very limited designs
- Need to spend at least USD $100 to qualify for free international shipping
next
Price range: S$21 – S$81
Based in England, next is an online e-commerce that focuses on selling apparels.
Our shopping experience:
Even though the site isn’t as pretty as some of the other sites we visited, navigating the site was seamless and straightforward.
We also found their delivery to be quick with a waiting time of only 5 business days. What’s more, you get to enjoy free international shipping with a minimum spend of only S$50.
While next offers a modest selection of Havaianas slippers at fair prices, most of their designs are dated.
Pros:
- Fast shipping (5 days)
- Free shipping with minimum spending of $50 SGD
- Decent selection
Cons:
- Dated designs

How to Spot a Fake pair of Havaianas
With the growing popularity of Havaianas, many imitation products have popped up in the market. While they are more affordable, they aren’t as comfortable or durable.
According to Schumart, here are 3 tips for a spotting a fake pair of Havaianas.
- The base: Imitations have poorly defined dots and barely visible brick patterns on their outsoles.
- The strap: Imitations have poor finishing on the Havaianas logo. At times, they even get the spelling wrong.
- Comfort: Imitations are noticeably lighter as compared to genuine Havaianas slippers. On top of that, they start to smell bad and wear out quickly.
How to Choose the Right Size of Havaianas
While most online stores provide measurements, the best way to get a sense of a product’s fit is by trying it on. You can do this at a physical store that sells the same product before taking advantage of the better deal online.
