I have exactly the same problem from a pair of black thongs Rusty brand from the surf shop. I have a never had a problem from thongs or rash before and own blue Rusty ones. It burns and itches and stings and the red straps look permanent on my feet. I wore mine 2 to 3 hours then then a couple of hours later the burning itch was across my feet where the straps had been. It is day 9 and no better. I am taking photos and contacting Rusty as it is shocking they sell a product like this. Obviously the thongs are coming out of the same factories or processed the same. Has anybody had this and now it has disappeared, i am worried about scars, it,s so ugly.

I have had this happen to me also with the black Jandals from Billabong. I bought mine about 7 months ago and couldn't understand why all of a sudden they were burning me when they didn't initially. My feet blistered where the straps were and I've been left with severe marks on my feet which are taking some time to heal. I would be interested in knowing what action has been taken and if any further cases have surfaced. I thought I was allergic until reading this today.

my daughter has been in a hell of a mess with her feet swelling paining itching been to different doctors.I think Billabong should take full responsibility for all the people who have been through this horrible ordeal as for the scaring not a good look to wear a nice pair of shoes ,if the scares do go they will be very lucky.
