There as good as it gets mate. I now have 4 pair of archies, the oldest pair I purchased in 2019. This particular pair (almost 7 years old now) are my everyday around the yard thongs that often take me shopping as well, mainly because I don't think to change them. The sole is much thinner of course than when they were new but theyre still working for me. Also, I am amazed that I have never broken a strap either, considering what I do with them.
I am retired and absolutely hate wearing conventional shoes unless I have no choice, so, needless to say Archies take me comfortably (almost) everywhere, even in the winter time. I will never in my life, purchase any other kind of thongs. Thank you Archies for creating such a versatile foot protector that is so comfortable and reliable.
I have attached some photos of my 6 year old pair compared to my brand new pair.
I am impressed and a huge congratulations to to our Aussie designer Daniel Jones for your design and efforts to improve comfort for people everywhere.
