On a whim I tried swapping out the hard plastic with my old soft rubbery straps. It worked! If only I could wear them on a beach and not just to the pool.

Ah, well. Now I have a linguistic question showing my age.
Have you ever heard flip flops called thongs? Do you prefer open or closed-to footwear?

Having a fix is key. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Darla. Big hug. ♥
:D
DeleteYes, they were always thongs when I was a kid. Now with the underwear, we have to be careful. Geez.
ReplyDeleteI know. Heh...
DeleteHA! Liz is right, I was gonna say...oh, never mind!
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteThat's what we call them here, thongs or a pair of thongs. For those who don't know as you do, it can cause some amusement.
ReplyDeleteIt is usually the strap that breaks first, so it is good that yours had not and you could reuse them.
:D
DeleteOh girl friend, you know that you will not get a simple answer from me...lol....yes, have heard them called tongs before. I personally called them my flippers. I loved wearing my flippers, but in the last seven to ten years I have stopped wearing them and opted for sandal's with arches built in. The crapper is being out and about with flippers on and the strap breaks.....not easy walking around like that. haha...Closed in or opened shoes. Closed in during the winter. However, I found last winter that mules, backs open and slide ons are great. But summer, I prefer as open as they can get and still have something to support my feet! So for me, its a matter of the season
ReplyDeleteThis makes sense, especially arch support. ~nods~ Be well!
DeleteThat was a clever fix. I like the two colors together. I have heard them called thongs, but I prefer flip flops. At home I am always bare foot, but I always wear closed toe shoes. XO
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm happy with the color scheme but cannot imagine walking around barefoot even indoors. lol Blessings, my dear.
DeleteYes, they were called thongs long ago haha when I was younger but now the thong is also known as, forgive me, please, “butt floss”….isn’t that just AWFUL Sorry but information is a good thing and I hope the feathers were just gathered from many places where the little birdies shed them..Love the dress you sent Ms Ellen’s kitty.
