Step Into the Sunshine: Our Sunset Flip-Flop Collection
When your warm-weather wardrobe calls for effortless comfort and carefree island energy, our Sunset flip-flop collection is your ultimate footwear companion. Welcome to the go-to destination for signature flip-flops, cushioned beach sandals, EVA thong sandals, lightweight vacation shoes, supportive summer flip-flops, high-density foam flip-flops, resort-ready thong sandals, and pool-friendly footwear designed for anyone ready to embrace the sun in style.
These shoes are crafted for moments when your schedule is wide open and your feet deserve pure relaxation. Perfectly suited for tropical beach vacations, poolside lounging, sunny boardwalk strolls, warm-weather getaways, or casual backyard barbecues, the Sunset collection ensures you stay cool, cushioned, and effortlessly chic all season long.
The Sunset flip-flop is a famous cornerstone of Rocket Dog’s signature silhouettes, featuring clean, solid-colored straps, webbings, or clear details. Compared to its wilder Spotlight counterpart, the Sunset offers a more conservative, versatile look that is incredibly easy to pair with any outfit while delivering the exact same legendary comfort.
Comfort That Keeps Up
Plush Foam Comfort technology features a high-density foam midsole and insole engineered to compress and rebound with each step, designed to help you stay comfortable over longer periods on your feet. You will also love our wider toe box, built directly into the construction with a more generous, roomier toe box that allows your toes to sit naturally and helps reduce pinching. Many customers find that this thoughtful design makes our sandals ideal for long walks, all-day standing, and reduced foot fatigue during warm-weather exploring.
Heritage and Nostalgia
Since 1997, Rocket Dog has been a fixture of the casual California style scene, growing up right alongside the iconic Y2K era as a favorite among the it-girls of the early 2000s who wanted footwear that looked as bold as it felt. Rocket Dog was genuinely one of the very first brands to pioneer high-density EVA foam flip-flops, revolutionizing casual summer shoes by combining featherlight wearability with effortless style. Built for lasting quality and crafted to hold up to your daily summer adventures, the Sunset collection captures that authentic, effortless energy that keeps your wardrobe feeling fun, fresh, and grounded in decades of style.

How do I clean my shoes? Because our Sunset collection features water-friendly EVA foam footbeds paired with solid, webbing, or clear straps, cleaning is simple. Rinse the EVA sandals directly with clean water and wipe down the footbeds and straps with a mild soapy cloth or sponge. Towel dry and let them air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
Material Care FAQ
Canvas / Fabric Upper
Q: How do I clean canvas or fabric Rocket Dog shoes? A: Remove loose dirt with a dry brush first. Mix a small amount of mild detergent (like Woolite or a few drops of dish soap) with warm water, and use a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the fabric in a circular motion. Wipe away suds with a clean, damp cloth, then stuff the shoes with paper towels and air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: Can canvas sneakers go in the washing machine? A: It's best to hand-clean canvas styles rather than machine wash, machine washing can loosen glue bonds and warp the shape over time. If you do machine wash, use a cold, gentle cycle, remove laces and insoles first, place shoes in a mesh laundry bag, and always air-dry, never tumble-dry.
Q: What household items work on canvas stains? A: A paste of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water lifts light stains and scuffs. A melamine-foam sponge works well on canvas without damaging the fabric. Diluted white vinegar (acetic acid) helps with odor and mild discoloration.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial cleaner? A: A sneaker cleaner with a mild, non-bleaching surfactant base (often listed as coconut-derived cleansers or decyl glucoside) lifts dirt without stripping color or dye from the fabric.
Mesh / Knit Upper
Q: How do I clean mesh sneakers? A: Use a soft brush with a mild detergent-water solution, working gently since mesh can snag or stretch if scrubbed too hard. Rinse the soap out with a barely damp cloth rather than running water directly over the shoe.
Q: Can mesh shoes be machine washed? A: Yes, more safely than most materials, mesh tends to hold up well to a cold, gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Air-dry only; heat can warp the knit structure.
Q: What household items work? A: A soft toothbrush and diluted dish soap are usually enough. A baking soda paste helps with odor control between washes.
Nylon / Webbing
Q: How do I clean nylon or webbing details? A: Nylon is durable and can be wiped down with a soapy, damp cloth. For heavier soil, a soft brush with detergent works, followed by a clean-water rinse-wipe and full air-dry.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial cleaner? A: A technical-fabric wash containing a non-detergent surfactant (alkyl polyglucoside) cleans without leaving a residue that can affect nylon's water resistance.
PVC (Jelly-Look Material)
Q: How do I clean PVC/jelly shoes? A: PVC is water-friendly, simply rinse with water and wipe with a soapy cloth or sponge. Dry with a towel and let air-dry the rest of the way.
Q: What household items help restore shine? A: A small amount of mineral oil (found in baby oil or petroleum jelly) rubbed on with a soft cloth restores shine and prevents the PVC from looking dull or cloudy over time.
Q: Anything to avoid? A: Avoid high heat (like direct sun or a heater) for drying, PVC can warp or become brittle.
Interior: Memory Foam & EVA Cushioning
Q: How do I clean the memory foam insole/footbed? A: Remove the insole if possible. Sprinkle with baking soda, let sit for a few hours to absorb odor and moisture, then shake or vacuum off. For light stains, dab, don't soak, with a cloth and a mild soap-water mix, since memory foam holds onto moisture.
Q: How do I clean EVA foam midsoles/footbeds? A: EVA is more water-resistant than memory foam. It can be wiped down directly with a damp soapy cloth or even rinsed lightly under water, then air-dried.
Q: What household items help with odor? A: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) left in the shoe overnight is the most effective at-home odor remedy for both memory foam and EVA. Dryer sheets tucked into the shoe overnight are a common quick fix too.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial odor spray? A: An odor spray built around sodium bicarbonate or a zinc-based odor neutralizer (zinc ricinoleate) actually neutralizes odor rather than just masking it with fragrance, both are safe on memory foam and EVA.
Outsole (Rubber, EVA, TPR, PU, PVC soles)
Q: How do I clean the outsole? A: Use an old toothbrush with a paste of baking soda and water to scrub grooves and treads. Rinse the brush and wipe away residue with a damp cloth.
Q: How do I get the outsole white again? A: A melamine-foam sponge is very effective on rubber and EVA soles for scuffs and yellowing. For deeper discoloration, a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, left on for 10–15 minutes then scrubbed off, works well, test on a small area first since peroxide can lighten some colored soles.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial midsole cleaner? A: A cleaner combining a mild surfactant with a fine abrasive (calcium carbonate or silica-based) lifts ground-in dirt from tread grooves without discoloring the rubber or foam.
