Thong Sandals for Everyone at Shoebuy.com
For as long as I can remember, flip-flops have been cast to the bottom of the shoe chain. Fashion magazines deemed them as being ugly and completely un-stylish, things that should be 
relegated to the beach or poolside only. When the U.S. Women’s Lacrosse team wore flip-flops to the White House, rioters took to the streets, destroying shoe stores that carried flip flops and burning piles of the footwear. Ok, so that last part didn’t happen, but people were pretty darn upset when they saw the picture in the paper of the girls standing next to the President wearing...*gasp*…comfortable footwear!!! Oh, the humanity!!
Please, people. I personally can’t disagree more. Flip-flops (formally known as thong sandals) have become a veritable staple in modern day wardrobes and thankfully, footwear companies have embraced this fact with open arms. After all, they’re comfortable, practical and frankly, look great with just about anything. (Plus, they give you an excuse to get a pedicure as often as you like.) What more could you ask for?
The sheer number of styles available tells you that there’s something for everyone, from a beach bum to a minivan-driving soccer mom. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this minute sampling of the styles of flip-flops that are out there. Check out the entire thong sandal collection, which comprises of over 200 styles from brands like adidas, Merrell, Skechers, Harley Davidson, Tommy Bahama, Sideout, Cudas, J. Renee, Havana Joe, Touch Ups and more.

Nix the standard rubber flip flops for these lovely bridal thong sandals. The straps are decorated with sparkling beads, adding a dressy touch to an otherwise laid back or beach wedding.
