Thongs for beach and summer

Why thongs?

Thongs combine comfort and style in an airy model that's on and off in a flash. They dry quickly, are easy to clean and match almost any summer outfit. The toe strap keeps the thong firmly in place, even on sand and wet surfaces.

The most popular brands

Reef is the specialist in beach thongs with a comfortable and durable construction. Havaianas and Ipanema are known for cheerful colours and a light, flexible sole profile. Birkenstock makes thongs with an anatomical footbed for extra support — ideal if you walk all day. Fitflop combines ergonomic design with a fashionable look.

Tips when buying

Don't buy thongs too tight — the strap shouldn't pinch. Check whether the footbed supports the heel and how the sole grips on wet surfaces. Alternate thongs with supportive footwear if you walk long distances.
