Flip-flop shape, actual heel height.

The Edit

A thong sandal reworked around a sculpted spool heel — the kind that flares at the base and tapers to a narrow stem, sitting at roughly 2 inches. The slim, padded toe strap is stitched at the center seam and meets a square-toe footbed in smooth black leather throughout. No hardware, no ankle strap, no interruption to the silhouette.
