Wanted to like them but the soles are really poor quality. The left one leaves black all over the bottom of my foot. The right side does not but both are very compressed even though I have only worn them a couple of times because of the issues with the left side disintegrating into powder. I guess if you just want to wear them once to Pride and some foam party or whatever where you intend to dispose of them AND you don't mind looking like you stopped washing your feet when you went on tour with the Dead in 69' then go for it! The seller was great got them really fast and the thong is nice quality fabric with a plastic toe separator cover.
