Cocobelle Bahia Elastic Sock Thongs

— April 21, 2008 — Fashion
We covered sock boots in the winter, now with summer around the corner, it's time you were shown the Cocobelle Bahia Elastic Sock Thong Sandal.

The flip-flops have a sock-like attachment which weaves through the big toe and smaller tootsies, then wraps around the ankle just as a sock would. If you have oddly curved feet and your heels have a tendancy to fall off the back of the shoe, this could be a good solution.

Practical uses aside, it's an innovative piece of footwear sure to draw the attention of the solefully minded.

They come in black and beige and are available for $70 at ShopBop.
