Blowfish La Villa evolved from a simple suede thong that first added criss-crossing fully adjustable straps. Then, to cope with the soreness often associated with thin leather straps behind the ankle, Blowfish La Villa has acquired a fully enclosed suede heel cup. Now add a lightly padded foot bed and a flexible rubber outsole and what do you get? A perfect all purpose gladiator summer shoe - that is the Blowfish La Villa! Essential wear for warm weather and occasions for relaxation on the beach in the park and at parties, Blowfish La Villa is great value at this price.
