When shopping for a sandal, you will soon realize you have different options. Most, if not all sandals are backless shoes that are held in place by a thong or strap that comes between the first two toes.
Another type of sandal has a band of material that wraps around the top of your foot, therefore not needing a thong or strap between your toes.
When considering the purchase of a sandal, keep in mind the two options mentioned above. Some people have a hard time adjusting to the feeling of a strap or thong between the toes and it can also be irritating or cause a rash. But with time, your feet and toes will get use to the irritation and after the "break-in" period, you may find the thong/strap type sandal to be more comfortable. Or you just may want to choose the type of sandal that covers the top of your foot but has no thong or strap between the toes.
Another thing to look for in a sandal is quality. Always make sure to look at the seams. If the sandal has been sewn in places, check the thread for double stitches and make sure no fraying has occurred. Some sandals have layers that are glued and these layers need to be checked as well to see if the glue has separated. Always use common sense and look over the sandal carefully to find any defects and always look for a quality product.
Always remember, you get what you pay for. Cheaper sandals may feel good on your feet for a while, but when they start breaking down, your feet will pay the consequences. Broken straps or worn out thin soles could possibly give your foot problems, but could also be dangerous and could cause a trip or a fall.
Use these tips when buying a good quality brand name sandal. Make the right choice for you and your feet.
