Foot straps are footwear used for decoration or dancing. Dance thongs are nude or flesh-colored with a lightly padded area that protects the ball of the foot. Decorative foot thongs offer no protection to the soles of the feet and are generally only worn when going barefoot. They can be made at home or purchased online.
Foot straps are a type of footwear used for decorating or dancing. They are designed very differently for any purpose, but the general idea is to make it look like you are barefoot. Dancers frequently wear foot thongs during performances to keep their lines clean and professional while slightly protecting their feet. Although flip flops are sometimes referred to as thongs, they are generally never referred to as foot thongs.
Dance thongs are typically nude or flesh-colored, slipping over the toes. They generally only have one or two simple straps on top, which rest on the front of the foot, just above the toes. The foot strap will have a lightly padded area that rests under the ball of the foot. This cushioned area is what serves to protect the ball of the foot from blisters or scratches, such as when pirouetting during a dance routine, since the ball of the foot is often the only area that touches the floor.
There are many different brands of thongs available for dancers. They can be ordered online, or found at most dance supply stores, and are usually fairly inexpensive. Many dancers keep more than one pair on hand for practice and performance.
The other type of foot thongs are those that are used for decoration and are not used for dancing. They look like anklets, with a single string that wraps around the ankle, extends down over the top of the foot, and usually wraps around the first or second toe. They are often embellished with bold, colorful beads, or crocheted from brightly colored string. Some have more elaborate ones, with thicker bands running across the top of the feet; They are available in virtually any design desired.
These foot straps offer virtually no protection to the soles of the feet, and are generally only worn when one would go barefoot, such as at the beach or at home during the summer. They are not substitutes for shoes. These also vary in price depending on the materials used, and usually have to be ordered online as they are a little hard to find in stores.
It’s relatively simple to make decorative foot thongs like these with just a few materials. Instructions can be found online. In this way, the wearer can customize the accessories to match outfits or other pieces of jewelry for a complete look.
