text: Most comfortable thong ever! BUT mine only lasted a summer of continuous use as the piece between the toes that connects to the bottom of the sandal pulled away enough [not stretched] so as to make the sandal *very* loose and unwearable. First time I've ever experienced this problem with a thong type sandal. This, I'm afraid, is a design flaw as this piece needs to be embedded much more strongly into the base of the sandal.
