I saw these sandals and couldn't resist.  I wish I had!!  I do have issues with thong sandals, but I thought these might work.  They didn't and they really hurt my toes.
If you want pretty thong "type" sandals, try Skechers Reggae Rasta.  They are a toe-ring type and these ARE very comfy.
I wouldn't recommend these to anyone who has trouble wearing thong sandals.  They are nicely made and very pretty.  If you like thong sandals these are worth the money.  They don't slap on your heels and don't slip off your feet easy.  Wish I could have worn them, but my friend I gave them to loves them.
