5 Shoes That Will Change Your Mind About Heeled Thongs

We were sceptical at first but now we’re sold.

Flip-flops are a national treasure so it only makes sense for their elevated sisters to be placed on the same kind of pedestal, right? If you’re still recovering from the rubber thong stilettos of the early 00s, hear us out – everyone from A-listers to Fashion Week showgoers are in on the trend, with confidence and clever styling all it takes to pull off the look. Ready to revisit the heeled thong?

Here’s 5 pairs we’re already obsessed with...

1. THE 90s NOSTALGIA

Nothing brings back 90s glam quite like chocolate brown. Top it off with a luxe croc-embossed texture, a square toe and wider straps, and you’ve got the perfect throwback pair.
