Find the
perfect fit
To ensure you order the correct size measure a pair of your existing thongs, flip flops or sandals from the big toe to the middle of the back of the heel or to where the heel of your foot sits in the thongs – refer to illustration below. Compare your measurement to our Slappa’s Thongs size chart.
Note: Do not measure your foot itself as this will result in incorrect sizing. Slappa’s need to fit firm as they will give a little once moulded to your feet.

The absolute BEST thong you will ever own!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. Your feet will thank you!! I have metatarsalgia which causes severe foot pain. These are literally the only footwear that does NOT cause me foot pain. I wear them nearly year round, unless its snowing here in USA. My niece who is a runner with foot issues introduced me to Slappa’s Thongs. I have just about every color to match my wardrobe. I receive compliments on them all the time. I have purchased them as gifts for family members who are entirely grateful. After seeing my positive results, my physical therapist now recommends them to all her clients with similar foot issues. The manufacturer is fabulous and easy to deal with, excellent customer service!! If you follow manufacturers instructions on the care of your thongs you will not be disappointed.

My eldest son is on his third pair of Slappers – blame it on a dog, and an accidental break. He has flat feet, and they support his feet beautifully, so no knee or leg pain. My younger son is still on his first pair – loves them, and wears them everywhere. I also am on my first pair – when it comes to thongs, nothing else compares – so supportive of my feet, and comfortable. xxx

I hate all my previous sandals, until my podiatrist recommended to try slapped! I was very skeptic until I try them! I like them so much that I end up buying 2 pairs (in/out doors). The best part is that is Australian and I am always happy to support the local guys!
Keep up the good job slappa!
Cheers

Love slappas.. My first year just wore out after 5 years so I ordered a new pair, accidentally ordering the wrong size. Their customer service was perfect in getting a new pair out express ASAP.

I LOVE my Slappa’s thongs! I just bought my second camo pair to replace my very first pair of slappas (also camo) as they finally wore out after several years of being extremely well worn. I find it hard to get shoes that fit my high arch and instep. Slappas’s have great support, they’re tough and comfortable and fab colours! They last for ages, easy to clean. Dream shoes!! Thank you Slappas!

Bought a pair of black army Slappa’s many years back at Mindle markets and though I don’t flog them every day they’ve worn well and are very comfortable, 10 out of 10.
Our essentials thong range is slightly softer so you mould into them almost instantly, 2mm longer around the toes and slightly wider allowing us to fit even more people into Slappa’s. We have made sure these adjustments only affect the shape of the thongs, not the size, so you can continue to order the same size as before. Nonetheless, our originals thong range is still available if you prefer this style!
Slappa's Thongs
Size Guide
To ensure you order the correct size measure a pair of your existing thongs, flip flops or sandals from the big toe to the middle of the back of the heel or to where the heel of your foot sits in the thongs.
If you have ordered Slappa's Thongs before, some sizes have changed. Please check out our reorder reference chart to make sure you order the correct size.
