Review of Merrell Women's Sporty Bahia Thong Summer Sandal

The Merrell women's sporty Bahia summer thong sandal is comfortable, durable, antibacterial, built with special sticky rubber sole, air cushion, and foot-aligning technology, all for approximately $49.99 in most stores.

The Merrell women's Bahia summer sandal is, quite honestly, probably the most comfortable sandal I've ever worn, not counting my other pair of Merrell sandals of a discontinued brand. I have a problem with the blood flow to the joints in my feet known as avascular necrosis, causing my feet to swell in hot weather and enclosed spaces, as well as when I walk too much in unsupported or heavy shoes. The Merrell women's Bahia thong sandal is entirely open except for the reinforced support arcing out from its thong, allowing my feet to retain a normal temperature and alleviating the aching pain I feel when they swell. There is a concealed compression molded EVA wedge in the heel built with Merrell Integrated Air Cushion® technology, which allows the sandals to make you feel like as if you're literally walking on air, and is apparently thus innovative and successful enough to copyright.

With a weight of only 11 ounces, the Bahia sandals put hardly any strain on the foot, despite relying on the thong between the toes to pull support the entire sandal with each step. The thong post itself is rounded, allowing the wearer to avoid uncomfortable chafing and/or blisters where the toes rub against it.
