    Most comfortable thongs/sandals

    Hoping someone can help me.....
    I have quite wide, disgusting feet.
    Haviana thongs during summer are causing me great pain and discomfort.
    What thongs/ sandals do you wear?

    Teva

    Excellent quality, great arch support. And cool designs. Like walking on a cloud.

    For comfort you really can't beat Birkenstocks.

    I only wear flip-flops in the shower. They're uncomfortable, bad for your feet and no-one can walk gracefully in them.

    I like my gisele bunchen (sp) thongs for every day wear, they are the sling back ones. Birkenstock have a store in the DFO's, so you may be able to get a pair a bit cheaper.

    Try sierra trading and overstock.
    Any of the U.S. outlet stores will be much cheaper than paying retail in Australia.

    I have wide feet too

    Most comfortable thongs I've bought recently have been a pair of Mambo's from Big W and Rip Curl ones I got cheap at DFO.

    yup definately get some berkys- they are the BEST!!
    cheap places to get them are they factory outlet at essendon airport DFO (its is also a croc outlet as well) and there is a shop at doncaster that sells berkeinstocks and ughboots! I have bought berkys there for $45 !!!! The shop is downstairs near the telstra shop, smiggle , optus etc
    get yourself a pair and you will never get them off your feet!!!

    Ok- so I decided on Birkenstocks!
    Thanks to the lovely Elocin for PMing me a link where I can buy them CHEAP!
    Those that have them, what are the sizes like?
    I will be buying them without trying them on.

    I think they're generally true to size. There is probably a conversion chart on their website.

    Any chance I could have that link?

    Love my birkenstocks here! I have had one pair for 5 years, and they are my main summer shoe. Just this year they got a bit old and tired looking, so they are now my at home birkenstocks and I have a dressy pair of patent leather ones for fancy occasions.
