That's the footware, not the buttfloss underwear.
More details when i feel like it, just curious on thoughts. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Only someone with more money than sense would pay more than $10 for a pair of thongs, never mind $80! _________________ I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within. |

The only people I could picture spending that much on thongs are women blinded by some designer label or particularly flamboyant gay men with more money than they knew what to do with. |

If you colour them in AFL team colours and put the team logo on them, you'd be surprised how many people would buy them.
People pay $120 for a polyester guernsey that probably costs less than $1 to make. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

I paid $25 for some havaiana's just before Christmas and that's about my limit.
No way I'd pay $80. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

I buy fit flops from Amazon, used to get them from Victoria's secret when the had them on sale, $49 worth every cent! Buy then here and they are $99. - $130.
And since I got my first pair, I have not been able to wear normal thongs!
So, no, if you've got foot problems (I don't) or knee problems (every net baller does!) then, if I couldn't get them for Amazon cheaper, I'd be hanging out to get them on sale here!
Tried Birkenstocks from Amazon, bloody terrible, but I made a profit on eBay!
I know guys who buy sketchers thongs, they ain't cheap.

An $80 pair of thongs (for the feet!) ?
3. Thoughts spring to mind.
1. Unless these $80 thongs have a mean self-defence mechanism (I'm thinking mini-gun and/rocket launcher) to protect your valuables while your swimming off Bondi or Kuta beach I'd say they are waste money.
2. If buying a $80 thongs pair of makes you feel superior to some-one who can only afford to wear a pair costing $8 then your monies better spent on personal therapy.
..issues of self esteem inferiority complex should be the first ones tackled!
3. If neither 1 or 2 apply I'd opt for... "a fool and his money are soon parted". |

How about 4. I can walk in them all day long, without sore feet, without sore knees, without sore hips. _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

My current pair I've had for about 4 years and they're just about stuffed. So I got a new pair today.
Crocs make some really good thongs, havaianas are over priced cheap quality shit. Reef thongs are the bomb. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

I bought about 20 pairs of 99c bamboo thong a few years ago, I'm down to my last 2 pairs, I really need to find some more. |
