If you caught my flip-flop post the other day, you’ll know I began talking about the difference between thongs and flip flops, with the primary difference being price & materials. Even though the general construct of the two is the same, thongs always are made with more substantial and generally more natural materials and it is reflected in their price.
In addition to these two very evident differences there is also the fact that thongs generally have some type of heel, even if it is a mere 1/10 of an inch.
I’ve noticed many shoe stores referring to them as “Thong Sandals” lately, but in my mind, if they don’t have a strap around the ankle or some type of closure on the back they aren’t really sandals.
My favorite Thongs from around the web:

I have a serious crush on these adorable printed cotton V-strap sandals from Juicy Couture. I really admire everything about them. Sure, I can’t really wear them to the office - but I can wear them almost everywhere else this Spring.
The wedge is 3 1/2″ which is a bit higher than I tend to wear, but the cuteness factor and the whimsical blue mosaic print have won me over. $198.95 @ zappos.

It would seem most designers equate the height of the heel with the sex appeal of the shoe, and most of us would agree that there is nothing like a 3 inch+ heel to help us get our “Sex Bomb” vibe going.
No matter how hot the grossly elevated beauties make us feel, our back, feet, and legs all agree that the Kitten Heel Pumps are ever so much more pleasurable for wearing. This season we can have both sex appeal and comfort, with these Ultra-comfy & Just-As-Sexy Kitten Heel Pumps! You will find all of the low heeled beauties below just as stylish and trendsetting as their high-faluting counterparts.
