I was out shopping today and bought a new pair of inexpensive sandals to wear this summer. I have been trying them out in the house and they're comfortable but I've never had a pair of sandals quite like these before. They're a thong type of sandal that has a little piece that goes between your toes. The part where your foot goes has bumps and looks exactly like bubble wrap. And while I was trying them out I noticed they made a lot of noise when I walked.

Sooooo...I was wondering if anyone else had sandals that were similiar, and what do you think of them?

I found a picture online. And like I said, they're really inexpensive. Can you see the bumps on the larger sandal? And they're not made out of rubber like this type of sandal usually is...it's more like plastic.

I remember those! My friend had a pair, I never liked them, they felt to weird on my feet, but a lot of people liked them.

i guess it is really different over here... we love sandals and we wear them all the time... go get our groceries, go out shopping in casual wear.. that's what most of us wear in a hot weather... some do make lots of noises but some are really comfortable... but overall, i'm ok with it..

Ah yes!! If I don't wear shoes, my feet are in a pair of sandals, except when I go running! My sister had a pair like the orange ones! And...YES! They are so great! I wanted to steal them from her...but I already have about 10 pair of sandals I wear all the time!!

I love sandals too but I HATE the thong ones! They give me blisters in between my toes and that has got to be the WORST place for a blister.

Same as Tamme. I love sandals but I tried the thong ones when I lived in Australia and they gave me blisters too.

I loooooooove sandals! I live in them pretty much all year round, except when they're completely inappropriate to the clothes or occasion. Don't actually have any thongs at the moment, but I like them lots, and haven't found blistering between the toes to be a problem, although I gather it is for some people. Whatever works, is what I say!

I love sandles too. I mean its a little more then I month before I can wear them again and not be a fashion no no.

I'm alreay excited for sandle season I'm getting a peticure on tuesday!

I have to admit I'm not fond of the thong ones. I guess nothing thong appeals to me, I hate the underware too!

I call those Flip Flops!!! I used to wear them all the time as a child. only because they made the Flip flop sound when you walked and I loved it!!! Don't wear um anymore.....My big toe likes being next to her littler friends LOL But I do wear other styles of sandels all summer long. just not when I am at work we're not allowed to wear them

Thats weird, I ONLY wear the thong/flip flops (we call them flip flops as well), I never wear the other kind. I live in flip flops during the summer, just LOOVE them!

I'm amazed that anyone would hate sandals
they are so comfy and airy.
I like those blue sandals but have never worn them. Cheap and comfy is good.

I have had the blue ones before. I really liked them, they're comfy. One things about them though, just be careful with them, the thong part can rip easily. I bought like, 4 pairs last summer
