Hi, here is another post about my fantastic New thongs. I love em.  Tags:  footware, orthics, foot care, thongs/flip flops

Besides my runners, thongs are probably my most common footwear of choice.  And for $15 for a funky pair, who would blame me?  Ahh, but did I ever think I’d spend $70 on a pair of thongs (flip-flops)?  The answer would be a resounding ‘No’.  That was until I tried on Orthaheel’s Tide range.  Cooommfy!  This  is the one I got: http://www.footsmart.com/ProductZoomPopup.aspx?scene7name=84085_WHITE_NAVY in BLACK/PINK.

Features (as listed on site):
Orthaheel Women’s Tide Thong Sandals help relieve foot and lower body pain with built-in orthotics
Our feet were designed to walk on soft, natural surfaces like soil and sand, but we walk on unnatural, hard, flat surfaces like pavement and floors. This forces our feet to roll over and our arches to flatten, causing excess pronation. This thong sandal features the built-in Orthaheel orthotic, invented by Dr. Phillip Vasyli to realign your feet to their natural position, encourage better body posture and relieve the symptoms of plantar fasciitis and excess pronation. The two-tone polyurethane upper has a leather-like finish.

Features & Benefits of Orthaheel Women’s Tide Thong Sandals:

* EVA orthotic midsole helps realign your feet and ankles.
* Long-wearing rubber outsole offer extra grip, keeping you steady on your feet.
* Padded comfort straps ensure a comfy and secure fit.

AND, the bonus, they are recommended for
Arch pain, bunions, calluses, corns, hammertoe, heel pain and hell spurs, plantar fasciitis

So, with Christmas coming up I know what I want Santa to put in my stocking.

  1. I’ll be interested in hearing how you like these. For me, I cannot take anything between my toes anymore. When I was young, no problem. But for the last 20 years or so, a thong annoys the hell out of me (between my toes, between my cheeks, etc etc etc)

    I want to know how you like them too.

    I’m a flipflop addict (we don’t call them thongs in LA, I have no idea why) and I’m always willing to try a new pair!

    I’m finding these really comfortable. I’ve worn ’em over the weekend and didn’t have any pain in my heal. Noticed it forced my feet to balance because when I’m at a stand still I rest on the sides of my feet so this made me use my whole foot when standing still.

    I have noticed sore muscles today – but I think it’s because my walking has changed due to the thongs and this will pass.
