Arguably the most popular summertime shoe around is the thong sandal. They’re suitable for men, women and children and available in such a wide variety of sizes, shapes, styles and colours that it’s hard to think of a single piece of footwear more versatile. The thong sandal is popular because they’re generally inexpensive and easy to slip on and off while you’re at the beach or poolside. What’s more, thongs are generally durable enough to put up with more than a single season’s use, though often thongs are so cheap you don’t mind their overall disposability.
Thongs, sometimes called toe-post sandals by higher-end designers, are available to suit most tastes. For women, some of the more fashionable thong sandals on offer are from Christian Dior and Moda. There are also a number of designers such as Birkenstock, FCUK and Scholl make thong sandals suitable for women leading a more active lifestyle.
Popular thong sandal brands for men include Reef, Lonsdale, Teva and the popular Havaianas made from 100% natural Brazilian rubber. There are more formal thong sandals on the market for men, these are made by designers such as D&G, Michael Kors and Merrell. Thongs for children are also readily available, often from the same designers that make thong sandals for men and women. Popular thongs for children are usually bright in colour and often feature characters from children’s film and television, such as Diego and Dora the Explorer.
Buying thongs online is a great way to save time and money. What’s more, because thongs are generally less bulky than other shoes, you’ve got less to worry about when it comes to postage charges. As with any online purchase, buy your thong sandals from a retailer with a clear and flexible return policy so you can exchange them if you need to, and be on the lookout for postage discounts on multiple items.
