Living in Darwin, thongs are pretty much part of everyday life. You wear them everywhere, down to the shops, out to the markets, walking the dog, heading to the beach. Up here, thongs aren’t just casual footwear, they’re everyday footwear.

But there was one problem.

They never seemed to last.

The heat in Darwin is tough on shoes. Footwear perishes, cracks and falls apart quicker than you’d expect. Thongs were even worse. The plugs would blow out, the soles would flatten, wear holes in them, and before long you were back at the shop buying another pair.

It drove me mad.

All I wanted was a really good quality pair of thongs I could wear every day, all day and without them falling apart.

Something comfortable.
Something reliable.
And definitely not daggy.

When I couldn’t find a pair of durable thongs that lasted, I decided to make my own.

Living in Darwin gave us a pretty good testing ground. If a pair of thongs could handle the heat, the wear and tear, and the way we live up here, then they would last a long time anywhere else.

That simple idea is what started Slappa’s Thongs.

From the beginning, the focus was on making durable thongs with proper arch support that people could wear comfortably all day. We wanted thongs that wouldn’t flatten after a few weeks, wouldn’t blow plugs, and wouldn’t need replacing every couple of months.

Just comfortable, supportive thongs built to last.

Because when you live in Darwin, you quickly learn something, if a product can survive Territory conditions, it can handle just about anywhere.

And that’s exactly what Slappa’s were designed to do.
