Righto, there is something I genuinely don’t understand: why do people keep buying thongs when the plugs keep popping out?
Most of us have experienced it. You’re walking along when suddenly the plug pulls through the sole and your thong is no longer a thong. You try pushing it back through, but it keeps popping out and before long, the pair ends up in the bin.
It’s frustrating, wasteful and usually happens at the worst possible time.
What if your thongs couldn’t blow out?
Slappas are made differently from many traditional thongs. Each pair is moulded in one solid piece, including the straps and toe piece.
That means:
-
No plugs to pop out
-
No glue to come apart
-
No joins creating weak points
It’s a simple difference, but it makes a big difference to how long your thongs can last.
Made for more than one summer
Slappas are designed to be durable everyday thongs not something you wear for a few months and then replace.
We regularly hear from customers who have owned their Slappas for years. Some wear them almost every day, taking them to the beach, camping, travelling, gardening or simply getting around town.
Don’t just take my word for it. Have a look through the comments on Facebook, Instagram and Reviews on our website from our customers and you’ll see plenty of people sharing how long their Slappas have lasted.
Even when a well-loved pair finally wears out, it’s usually because the soles have worn down after years of use not because the straps have blown out.
Durability with arch support
Of course, there is more to Slappas than durability.
They also feature built-in arch support, a raised edge around the footbed and a deep-grip outsole. The firm EVA gradually softens and moulds to your feet as you wear them, creating a comfortable fit that feels more personal over time.
They’re lightweight, waterproof and easy to clean, making them a practical choice for the Australian lifestyle and if they can handle Darwin conditions, they can handle just about anything!
Already own Slappas?
Then you probably know exactly what I’m talking about.
We’d love to know how long your oldest pair has lasted. Share your story or photo with us it may help someone who is tired of replacing busted thongs finally decide to give Slappas a go.
And if your trusty pair is still going strong, perhaps it’s time to add another colour to your collection.
