i recently bought a pair
of slappas. they are thongs which are orthotic and supposed to be very
good. my friend from perth recommended them. i can't remember if i
blogged about them, i think i did. i've been trying to wear them in
but my feet are 'special' and it's never easy to buy shoes let alone
comfortable ones. i had to soak them in hot water and then put them on to
'mold' them to my feet. i must say i don't find them terribly comfy.
i have a pair of croc thongs that i've hardly worn. they are more comfortable
but still not the best. i got a pair of rivers thongs and they were ok.
the best thongs i ever had/have are flojos. they are very good
quality and have a nice thick sole while the straps are leather and nice and
soft. i wore them in a muddy paddock once and i thought they'd be ruined
but they washed up beautifully. they were on special at harbour town
years ago. a lot of people can't wear thongs on their feet because of the
bit between the toes but i have a huge big toe and the gap is wide so i'm good
with thongs. when i say my feet are 'special' i am not exaggerating as
that's what my podiatrist calls them except that he is not as polite. i
wear orthotics in my shoes normally. my daughter in law loves havaianas
which are also expensive. apparently in ubud, bali when the yuppies (is
that still a word) go into their yoga classes and leave their shoes at the door
the havaianas often get stolen. then they put a post on fb and ask for
them back which i suppose for the price they pay is understandable.

Know what you mean when you say 'yuppies' :) that word is just fine.
ReplyDeleteThongs, oh gosh, easy to walk in once but not so easy there days. I too have crocs but haven't worn as yet - next holiday for sure.
I can never find comfortable ones anymore. I used to wear them all the time when young but my feet have grown special too.
