Living Sandals

Despite the comfort you receive from flip flops when your feet have the opportunity to be free, some rather new or old can cause blisters and rub between your toes or the top of your foot. Since you can't very well go against that old fashion faux pas of wearing socks with sandals in flip flops, someone decided to create the thong sock! Olympia T-Tongs come in 10 different colors and can be customized with beads and other sock accessories.
