our "yoga style" sandals, this term has been coined from customers. People call them yoga toes. These sandals have a thong separating all toes; its a little strange at first, but many either already like it or enjoy it shortly after they start wearing them. Some people have found benefits from sandals that separate all toes, including better balance and individual toe movement easier. We find they are very comfortable, and were designed to increase awareness in the toes. Hand made, machine washable, vegan, and available with or without a backstrap.
