Orthotic thongs that will protect your feet so you can wear them more often
Thongs are a great Australian tradition. They date back to Ancient Egypt and have been an enormously popular option Down Under because they are easy, breezy and a great way to cover the sole of your foot while still feeling mostly like you are barefoot.
Aside from a little bit of sunburn on the top of the foot or the dreaded blowout, there can't be any risks in wearing them, can there? Unfortunately, when it comes to stable footwear, the humble thongs are probably the poorest option on the market.
They offer almost nothing in support when it comes to your heel and arches which can cause plenty of stress and pressure that leads to pain, damage to tendons, stress fractures and conditions like plantar fascia which can potentially get you off your feet for an extended period of time.
Even when you only wear thongs for short periods each week you can damage your feet which takes the shine off their appeal a little bit.
