Barefoot Sandals

Description

Here's a pair of "barefoot sandals" I made for the *ArtisanCraft Summer Theme Contest. ^_^
They're made with 5/16th inch, 16 gauge rings, basic Euro 4-in-1 pattern - The rings are coiled and cut from both galvanized steel (silver tone rings) and copper (the gold ones). They close at the back with a small silver lobster clasp, and use a light tan hair elastic to connect to the "index toe" (or whatever you want to call the long, skinny toe that's right next to your big one). I had seen a lot of these things around, but they were all made out of beads. They didn't look too durable to me (I actually, like, run around barefoot outside) and a lot of them had skinny chains or rings that went around your toe. I'm all about comfort, and toe rings... Eh, I like the look, but too often they pinch me, and the chains don't seem much more comfortable, either. The elastic is really comfy, and it ensures that the thing will fit nice and snug, and not flop all over the place. ^_^
To me summer is about being bold and having lots of fun, and never wearing an actual pair of shoes if you can help it! :D I actually wore these most of the day, walking around barefoot on those rocks, and it was GREAT. ^_^

Oh, and I was going to say that they were for sale, but, uhm - They sold the day after they were made! *laughs* She bought them to wear to her friend's outdoor wedding. This means I need to make another pair!

If a girl is wears barefoot sandals in public, is she technically wearing shoes? A point to ponder!:)
