New Thongs

[lurker172602]

I wish they didn't take so long to wear in.

I had a blow out in my old ones the other day and the new ones feel like I'm walking with a couple of fence palings strapped to my feet

Have never heard of soldiers p ing in boots.

It's not the softness or hardness of the leather, it's that the boot is a different shape to the foot,
Hence warm water to change the shape so it doesn't rub.

You should buy havaianas. They are the only thongs with enough give and flex in them to fit comfortably.

That's what I've got.  My last ones were too.  They still take some moulding though.

Heaps about it on Google - we're talking WW1 and WW2 here, not more modern times.

I heard the American Indians used pee to soften leather to make clothes, so may be some truth in that. 🙂

My OH has this pair, Rusty brand.They were great at first, super comfy... but ended up stinking!

Never known a pair of thongs to stink before, must be all those fibres.

And whatever you do, don't do as I did and google hairy thongs.

I bought some Birkenstock thongs this summer, took quite awhile before they stopped feeling like planks of wood strapped to my feet.

They used to use stale peek to wash clothes before soap was invented
