i never liked thongs, i always thought they were uncomfortable. my girlfriend talked me into buying a pair, and said once you get used to them and they break in, they'll be the most comfortable sandal you ever had. she was right. i found these in a surf shop in ocean city nj for seventy-five bucks. i opted for the leather because of the look, longevity, and because i thought they would stretch to form my feet better. after about two weeks of use these things feel like a second skin. i'm curious to buy a pair of rainbows to see which i like better.

one year in and the thongs feel better than ever. i wanna try their skinny sandal next, looks awesome. http://www.amazon.com/Reef-Skinny-Leather-Sandal-Brown/dp/B003XWY8J6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&coliid=I20AQXBB0X2T51&colid=V0IL3R7GTSW6
