Flat thong

An improved thong characterized by a base having an outer perimeter edge shaped to accommodate the heel and toes of a human foot, said base having a toe tab for insertion between the first and second toe and a heel strap being of such configuration as to cooperatively secure to said toe tab, the improvement comprising:

• a base constructed from a first sheet of low density foam rubber material bonded to a second sheet constructed from high density foam rubber material forming an upper surface and a lower surface, said first sheet providing a cushioned walking surface and said second sheet providing abrasion resistance and traction on slippery ground surfaces,
• a toe tab shaped like a human toe and formed integral to said base, said toe tab defined by a space apart first and second cut line connecting said upper and lower surface, each cut line extending inwardly approximately 40 mm from said outer perimeter edge toward a middle section a first distance terminating in a circular hole along a distal end forming a flexible hinge allowing said toe tab to lay flat or bend upwardly,
• said heel strap formed integral to said base defined by a U-shaped opening connecting said upper and lower surface placed inboard said perimeter edge along a heel portion of said base and extending toward said middle section approximately 95 mm, said opening separating said heel portion from said heel strap a fixed distance with a first and second end of said opening terminating in a circular hole and
• a heel cutout placed in said heel strap along an edge of said U-shaped opening, said heel cutout having a shape and width to accommodate the tendon of a human foot with said cutout extending outwardly from said U-shaped opening leading to a centrally disposed tear drop shaped coupling hole;
• whereby said heel cutout allows for securing said heel strap to said toe tab or securing said heel strap to the heel of a wearer with said cutout having a shape accommodating the tendon of a human's foot.
