The Izzy Sparkle women's designer thong sandals are made by Aetrex! If you have never worn an Aetrex shoe, you are missing out! Comfort and excellent support. If you love Vionic's, you will love this shoe. The upper of the women's comfortable shoes is made of a high-quality, soft textured leather material and includes stones on the front straps for a stand-out design as well as a Velcro adjustable instep strap for easy access and removal. The interior is lined with leather and includes an antimicrobial footbed featuring the Aetrex Signature Arch Support and Hi-Tech UltraSKY Cushioning for the most comfortable step every time! The outsole is made of high-quality, flexible lightweight material for durability and comfort. Approx. Heel Height: 1" Approx. Platform Height: 0.5" I love the show! The gold isn't flattering on my complexion. I only tried them on in the house. I didn't get them returned in time.
