sandal with a removable, washable insoles made from a loofah sponge. When wet, the insoles conform to the feet like a
sponge. Special stitching aids in reflexology on the soles of the feet. The natural network of fibers gently exfoliate
and massage the feet as the user wears them.

spas offering treatments out of doors.

Brides, McCalls, W, US News and World Report and Vogue Magazines, and, have been tried and tested, with thumbs up, from
