What comes in a pair? Gets you from here to there? And "solely" deserves the utmost tender-loving care? That's right, your feet! It's quite easy to take some things for granted, especially when they're with you wherever you go. But, that's just the reason to go the extra step and show your feet how much you appreciate their hard work. Next time you hop on board, consider wearing Sperry Top-Sider's Figawi Ultra Thongs, available for both men and women. Are they restricting and uncomfortable? Nope. Unstylish and clunky? Not at all. Slippery on wet surfaces? Think again. The moment your feet slide into each shoe, they slowly sink into the soft, rubbery insoles. Each thong has neoprene-lined nylon webbing straps with a quick-release adjustable closure, forcing the shoe to take on the shape of your foot instead of the other way around. No need to worry about slipping on puddles of water because the Quadro-Grip Wave-Siping will keep you sticking firmly to the boat. Not only does this gripping feature help you, but it also won't harm your boat. The non-marking super-tack rubber outsoles leave your boat scuff-free. You now have a way to be comfortable, hip and safe with this new pair of footwear. You will be happy. Your feet will be happy. Your boat will even be happy. Prices start at $49.95.
