"I was so surprised to find thong sandal that I can wear for hours at a time and the comfort remains. I usually just buy the typical flat thong sandal, that after a few hours can grow to be uncomfortable and are also bad for the feet. I am so glad that I payed a little extra money on these because I can really tell a difference. This shoe even has arch support. I had these same shoes on when I went to a friends house; she tried them on and couldn't believe how comfortable they were."
