1000 Mile Thongs.

[disco man]

I reckon these might last a bit longer than the servo specials.

Yeah, the rubber would be a lot harder wearing than the el-cheapo specials.:)

They look like softroader versions, I wonder when the steel belted off roader versions come out?:D
You could have platform ones to for those that want to go with the Lift;)

Nothing new, I had a pair of thongs back in the 70s made from tyre treads, great thongs, the straps went long before the tread, for the life of me, I couldn't find another pair anywhere, pretty sure I got them from K-Mart.

My leather thongs have been to 12 countries, does that count?

I hope you guys are talking about footwear.

At my high school it was impossible to be anything approaching cool without a pair of these in 1975:
