Barefoot or Bottomless Sandals

To wear them, the loop at the top goes over the second toe, and the rest of the chains rest flat against the foot. The ends of the chains are connected by wrapping around the back of the heel and looping the "S" hook over the jump ring.

I wear a size 7A shoe. I think these could fit a smaller foot easily and probably go up to a size 8. To make a larger sandal, just make the 4 1/2 inch piece of chain longer. They actually do stay on your feet. I’ve worn them around and, since my foot is so narrow, I can rarely wear anything that slips on. Shoes with buckles and ties work best for my skinny feet.

I love the idea of making these for a beach wedding, but they also would be fun for a cruise or a weekend away at the beach.
