Gate-side flip-flops at T1 Havaianas
Five minutes from most T1 domestic gates, Havaianas is the spot to fix a broken sandal or swap out heavy shoes before a long-haul from Curitiba. It sits airside in the main departures corridor, so you can duck in after security without backtracking.
Prices run lower than many overseas airports: basic rubber pairs often start around the equivalent of R$40–60, with seasonal prints and licensed designs climbing higher. You’ll see the usual wall of color options plus some Brazil-specific styles that can be harder to find outside the country.
Stock leans heavily to flip-flops, but you’ll also find beach bags, casual slides, and branded accessories like keychains and small pouches. Sizes typically cover kids through adult XL, so it’s an easy last-minute fix if someone in the group mispacked footwear.
Service runs on normal terminal retail hours, roughly from the first morning departures through the last evening flights in T1. Staff are used to hurried passengers and can size and ring you up in under five minutes if your boarding pass is already in hand.
One practical tip: if you see a print you like, buy it here. Styles rotate often, and the exact color or Brazil-themed design you spot at CWB Havaianas may not appear again at your next airport or back home.
