    1000 Mile Thongs.

    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?
    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.

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