I have not been able to wear thongs since I was a kid and while on holidays in Darwin I had some shoes on that I was getting sore feet from. We stopped at you store at Mindil Beach Markets where I got a pair of Slappa’s. They felt good when I tried them on and seriously I haven’t had them off my feet since. They have travelled to Bali with me (late last year), Fiji with me (this year) and ready to go to Bali again (next week) they are my new travel companion!

Thanks for sponsoring our team the “Shorefooted Slappas”, in the “Barra Bass and Bream Digest Harbourmasters Invitational 2013. The bright matching purple numbers certainly got noticed! Rog was most impressed with their grip on the slippery boat ramp and how good his feet felt after a long day on the water. We managed to land 2 barra, 3 bream, 4 catfish, 1 shark, 1 trevally and hooked and lost another 8 barras. Alas, not good enough for a podium finish this year.

I thought I would send you some quick feedback on my new Slappas Thongs. They are really good! Much more comfortable than ordinary thongs. The arch support is just about right for my foot and they fit perfectly. After I have them on for a while my foot really molds into them. They are a good solution for my Plantar Fasciitis as can wear them with my foot unstrapped (blessed relief). They are easy to slip on around the house and I also wear them out to informal places as they look nice on too. I have recommended them to my friend who also has Plantar Fasciitis. I will come and buy some more colours later!

Thanks for sending so promptly, made it in time for our Qld Holiday. BEST THONGS EVER!!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy and successful New Year.

I just wanted to compliment you on your Slappas thongs......I LOVE THEM!!!! So far I have white, mindil blue, Darwin yellow pairs, and my hubby has a brown pair, and a black army splash pair. I have just put another order in for a purple pair for myself and a black and white pair for hubby. My goal is to own a pair in every colour you have. We think they are just the most comfortable thongs. We both live in our comfy ugg boots throughout winter and we think that our Slappas are the summer alternative. My friend spent New Years Eve with us and she loved our Slappas, and as such, she has placed an order with you yesterday for the mindil blue and black and white Slappas.

I just wanted you to know that I am absolutely delighted with my new thongs. Very comfortable and they don't look like granny shoes as does most of the orthotics.

These Slappa's are the longest lasting thongs I've ever had. I've been very happy with them and just picked up my second pair.

I bought a pair; I have not been more impressed with a single product for a long time. It has the extra support and it works, they are much more comfortable than a simple safety boot. The colour combination was/is good. They have lasted - (better than I would ever have believed) - I live in Alice Springs and 2 years later they are thin as, but still working. For anything to survive 2 years in Alice Springs is a statement in itself. I wear them everywhere and I mean everywhere!

I traveled to far north QLD in December where I was volunteer at a Wildlife hospital. It was so hot that I wore pluggers most of the time and my feet paid the price... aching feet, cracked heels and a dicky left knee! On the way back home to Port Stephens we saw Bowen market's and decided to check them out. I was instantly drawn to Fran's rainbow display of 'thongs'.  I also knew that I needed more support for my feet and legs. I tried a pair on while Fran was giving me the sales pitch, they were great. I was listening to Fran and her valuable information. While I was there, I encouraged a lady to go halves with me to get a discount...Sold! Within 3 minutes of wearing Slappa's, my knee started clicking when I walked. After a day of wearing them, my knee moved back into the correct position and my feet stopped aching. I only wish I'd bought another pair! I have since seen 2 other moulded thongs in stores but they are more expensive and not as good quality. I also like the idea that you/the business is in NT.

I just wanted to say whoever invented these thongs I take my hat off to you. I have plantar fasciitis and these have helped me heaps, just purchased a black pair too. My osteo is impressed.

Just letting you know my Slappa's arrived today. They are the most comfortable pair of thongs I have owned. I have been suffering ligament damage & fractured toe for weeks so the foot pain has been over bearing but no longer. First time in ages I have been able to walk pain free. Thank you and also for the prompt service. Will definitely be recommending these to my friends.

Our thongs arrived yesterday, thank you very much. They are just great and sizes perfect. Can’t wait to show off to friends and family. We will definitely be getting more once we find out sizes for the rest of the family.

Just a quick note as a follow on to our earlier emails. Wanted to let you know the thongs are wonderful! The most comfy shoes I can wear to relieve my plantar fasciitis. And let me tell you, I have many very expensive brands like Ecco, Frankie 4, Merrell and my beloved Birkenstocks. My Slappa's are more comfy than all of them.  I just need you to now make a work shoe / closed in shoe with the same footbed!! Thanks again. I'll be purchasing a 2nd pair in the not too distant future, and singing your praises to all who will listen in the meantime.

We were skeptical at first how Slappa's would go. Now after 2.5 years of constantly wearing them, and walking miles both here and overseas in them, we know these are BRILLIANT. Took all this time to get a bit thin, but they are still perfect for home use. Just bought new ones as we will always take these with us when going overseas, and expect many more miles of use. Comfort with support is perfect, and so lightweight. Closest you can get to nothing on your feet. And a great company to deal with as well, you cannot go wrong. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I just have to say thank you, thank you, thank you.  I've just received my (first) pair of Slappas and they're already on my feet.  Already, my flat footsies are feeling grateful for thongs with arch support again. But I just couldn't believe how quickly they arrived!  Being in remote WA, I wasn't expecting them until next week, but they've arrived in time to save me from aching feet when I go camping this weekend.  3 working days is world record time here. I've got to tell you, I was a massive fan of the Ipanema anatomic thongs (mine recently finally died), but your Slappas leave them for dead for comfort.  The fact that they are also made out of recycled materials, you obviously have a social conscience AND you're an Australian company - tick in every box for me. Great work.  This will not be my last pair.

I purchased a pair of Slappas about 12 months ago because I had a painful problem due to having high-insteps. The thongs were integral in curing my issue. I wore them every day-all-day over the summer and autumn until the weather got too cold and had to put shoes on, Absolutely the most comfortable thongs Ive ever owned. Also, I was impressed at how durable the slappas are since I do I treat most footwear quite roughly. Very impressed with the quality, and back for a new pair now. Much better value that ordinary thongs.

Just HAD to tell you, I NEVER wear thongs EVER!!!  .....and then I bought a pair of Slappa's. Mine are now 2 1/2 years old & I guarantee I have worn them every day. They're more comfy than some of my shoes!

Received today and they are so amazing. I live in rural SA and it takes 10 days to get a letter from Melbourne. Posted my order 19th Dec picked up 2 days later! Soooooo commfy I think I’ll wear them to bed. Amazing service, amazing thongs Merry Christmas everyone at Slappas. See you in the New Year x

I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis for over 6 months and have literally spent 100's of dollars on tryin to find something that would ease the pain and I can finally say I have found it. Your thongs have given me a lot of relief and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Im not experiencing nearly the same amount of pain that I was, whilst I haven't shaken it completely my slappas are finally giving me some relief, even managed 4hrs in ikea last week and only a few weeks ago I couldnt walk for 10 mins.

Testing

Well done! I have foot problems so spent most of the summer in one of the seven pairs of Slappa’s I own. Nice to now be in royal company!

I just thought I’d let you know how much I love my Slappas thongs,I have 3 pair, they are so comfortable and light you wouldn’t know you had anything on your feet. Well done Slappas!

I purchased a pair of thongs this afternoon for my self and a pair for hubby. I have been wearing mine since and they are the ants pants...... and hubby’s fit perfect. Looking forward to getting some more in different colours.

Thank you so much.  I got my delivery on Friday - so efficient and quick.  People are right, I don't want to take them off my feet

A Big THANKS for including an extra pair of thongs! Unexpected but appreciated when the express post was delivered today. A happy 2014 and thanks again for supplying a terrific product.
