 Thong Mules
After recently someone posted a thread about "thongs" here, I first thought he/she meant so-called "thong mules". (But then I realized that actually underwear was meant.)
What is your take on thong mules? As far as I know, this term refers to mules where the big toe goes around a "thong", and that's all that keeps the shoe on the foot. I recently got some 4" wedge thong mules from Payless (see attachment). I found they are very interesting to walk in: first of all, the heel height is not extreme, so it shouldn't be hard to walk in those. But the combination of the heel and the thong/difficulty to keep the shoes on your feet made me walk kind of funnily, I would say. Also, while they are actually quite comfortable at first, they start to hurt quite early on because your foot slides right onto the thong and thus your whole weight rests on it.
Do you guys have any experience with these?
Another question: I have larger size than the 12 these sold as the biggest from Payless, but they actually fit me quite well. However, most Payless shoes in 12 or 13 would go as 14 or 15 in other stores. I would like to have a thong mule with a higher stiletto heel, but can't find it anywhere in larger sizes. Any idea where to get these from |
