The heavier ones need to have a strap that goes over the top of the foot (over the arch of the foot) which takes the weight off the front of the sandle and helps relieve the toes.

I wear thongs (of all kinds), and in my experience, the material makes all kinds of difference. Synthetics rub more; fabric and leather are more comfortable between sensitive toes. And, as Jenn mentions, your sensitivity declines after wearing them for a bit. But try not to over-do, until you've built up more of a tolerance.<br /><br />Try Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029572377894297361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511287927381998273.post-41208582872451955322010-05-27T21:57:10.335-05:002010-05-27T21:57:10.335-05:00Wear 'em until you get used to them - you will...Wear 'em until you get used to them - you will, I promise.blognuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161713516407124717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4511287927381998273.post-8039650026486540842010-05-27T19:39:28.803-05:002010-05-27T19:39:28.803-05:00I finally let my desire to wear thongs override th...I finally let my desire to wear thongs override the pain and suffered until I developed calluses.
