Our Slappa’s Story — Why We Believe In Every Step

It all began with a simple recommendation from a good friend, Jackie. She’d been to Darwin and discovered Slappa’s Thongs at the vibrant Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, where Denise first introduced these unique jandals back in 2010. Jackie couldn’t stop raving about how comfortable and supportive they were and we knew we had to try them.

Years later, while on holiday in Brisbane, we found ourselves needing new jandals. That’s when we met Nadine, who sold us our next pair of Slappa’s. She told us about the possibility of bringing Slappa’s to New Zealand. The idea sparked something inside us, a chance to share this incredible product with our own community.

We reached out to Denise and from that moment, a journey began. We embraced the opportunity wholeheartedly, passionate about spreading Slappa’s all over New Zealand because these aren’t just jandals. They’re about comfort, support, and living your life without foot pain holding you back.

Slappa’s Thongs were born in the rugged beauty of Australia’s Top End, crafted to provide real relief for feet that carry us through our lives. Though made in China due to manufacturing limits in Australia, we maintain strict standards, ensuring every pair is made ethically, with no child labour and with care for the people behind the product.

For us, Slappa’s is more than footwear. It’s about giving your feet the support they deserve so you can step confidently, pain-free, into every day.
