I could never wear thongs in the UK, hated the bar between the toe. You're hard pressed to find me in anything else now - they must have softer bars here
I'm with you on both points.

Crocs are fantastic for those with mobility problems they actually seem to help you walk!

I have the normal crocs and also the smart athens thong crocs but they have to be the real thing cheap imitations are harder rubber and don't work as well

They are perfect for on the boat though. When you wade down the jetty to hitch / unhitch the boat they don't come off like thongs.

It's getting more and more difficult to help people when you dont know what their "lifestyle" really is...

So to try and help i've come up with an idea to use thongs (flip flops) as a common household indicator.

So how much do you spend on thongs..are you a $100 surf shop label person or a $2.85 from Kmart person..do thongs maketh the man/woman..
Don't own thongs (apart from a joke pair of 'Guinness' thongs that are a health and safety hazard), my slides were $90 and have lasted over 3 year though

For other footwear, cheap and comfortable is the key ... $35 for my works shoes and they are going to last forever.
